There are many reasons that a parallel process can fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or environment problems. This failure appears to be an internal failure; here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an Open MPI developer): orte_odls_base_select failed --> Returned value Not found (-13) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Paul H.
