The Open MPI package recently fixed an oversight with respect to the C++ library. Could you try the most recent one, ie 1.2.5-2, and see if that works "out of the box" ? "It should", we think we now have most things ironed out with respect to the stand C library. Thanks, Dirk -- Three out of two people have difficulties with fractions.
