Thanks again to your help.
I will discuss these issues with my system administrator.
I am really grateful for being a part of this excellent mailing list.
Warm regards,

Thanks a lot Dr. David Spoel :)

I compiled GROMACS again with CFLAGS=-g , after that i ran mdrun_mpi. It is running fine though with some warning. This time I specified the full path of mdrun_mpi binary. But now I am having one strange problem. Sometimes it runs smoothly and sometimes it does not. I am not able to pin point this problem.Actually i am running mdrun_mpi by using one wrapper script as follows:


######################################################################################################## #!/bin/csh -f
#
#
# (c) 2004 Sun Microsystems, Inc. Use is subject to license terms.

# ---------------------------
# our name
#$ -N MPI_Job
#
# pe request
#$ -pe mpich* 2-20
#
# MPIR_HOME from submitting environment
#$ -v MPIR_HOME=/opt/mpichdefault-1.2.6
# ---------------------------

#
# needs in
#   $NSLOTS
#       the number of tasks to be used
#   $TMPDIR/machines
#       a valid machine file to be passed to mpirun

echo "Got $NSLOTS slots."

# enables $TMPDIR/rsh to catch rsh calls if available
set path=($TMPDIR $path)

$MPIR_HOME/bin/mpirun -np $NSLOTS -machinefile $TMPDIR/machines
-nolocal  /to/install/gromacs/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/mdrun_mpi -v
-s full -o full -x full -c after_full -e full -g full  >& full.job &


################################################################################################################### Then I have to execute this script by following commands

qsub -pe mpichpar <no of nodes> -q  par.q  <file name of above script>


But the problem is: sometimes it works well and sometimes it gives me the following error message:

***********************************************
Cannot read /tmp/28015.1.par.q/machines.
Looked for files with extension LINUX in
directory /opt/mpichdefault-1.2.6//share .
***********************************************


It seems that there is some problem in reading machines.LINUX file, but if there is some problem then it should not work sometimes, as it does, so I am very much confused now !!!

I have also installed some other software package but they are running fine with same script.

I also talked with my system adminstrator he told me there is some problem in installing the GROMACS that why it is behaving so strangely.

Could you suggest me something about what am I doing wrong or where am I going wrong????

Thanks again for your kind help (Atleast now I am able to run mdrun_mpi in the SUN CLUSTER)

Warm regards,
Alok Jain

These messages come either from the queuing system or from MPICH or fro both but not from GROMACS. If it works sometimes but not otherwise, I suspect some of the nodes in your cluster are confused or broken.
