I have built the myrinet drivers with gcc or the studio 11 compilers from sun.
The following problem appears for both installations.
I have tested the myrinet installations using myricoms own test programs.
Then I build open-mpi using the studio11 compilers enabling myrinet.
All the library paths are correctly set and I can run my test program
which is written in C, successfully, if I choose the number of CPUs to be equal
the number of nodes, which means one instance of process per node!
Each node has 4 CPUs.
If I now request the number of CPUs for the run to be larger than the
number of nodes I get an error message, which clearly indicates
that the openmpi cannot communicate over more than one channel
on the myrinet card. However I should be able to communicate over
4 channels at least - colleagues of mine are doing that using
mpich and the same type of myrinet card.
Any idead why this should happen?
the hostfile looks like:
m2009 slots=4
m2010 slots=4
but it will provide the same error if the hosts file is
m2009
m2010

It looks like MPI_INIT failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort. There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during MPI_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
