Subject: Re: [OMPI users] mca_oob_tcp_peer_try_connect problem

I solved the problem by making a change to
orte/mca/oob/tcp/oob_tcp_peer.c

On Linux 2.6 I have read that after a failed connect system call the
next call to connect can immediately return ECONNABORTED and not try to
actually connect, the next call to connect will then work. So I changed
mca_oob_tcp_peer_try_connect to test for ECONNABORTED and then call
connect again. The hello_c example script is now working.

I don't think this has solved the underlying cause as to way connect is
failing in the first place but at least now I move on to the next step.
My best guess at the moment is that it is using eth0 initially when I
want it to use eth1. This fails and then when it moves on to eth1 I run
into the "can't call connect after it just failed bug".
