Terry, Your suggestion worked. So long as I specifically state "--without-tm", the OpenMPI 1.2.4 build allows the use of "-hostfile". Apparently, by default, OpenMPI 1.2.4 will incorporate Torque if it exists, so it is necessary to specifically request "no Torque support". I used the normal Torque processes to submit the job and specified "-hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE". Everything worked. Thanks for your help, Pat

Can one not build OpenMPI without tm support and spawn remote jobs using the other mechanisms, using only $PBS_NODEFILE (or a derivative of the file that that points to) in the script?
