Hi

Do "yum list | grep mpi" to find the correct package names.
Then uninstall them with "yum remove" using the correct package name.

Don't use yum to install different flavors of MPI.
Things like mpicc, mpirun, MPI libraries, man pages, etc,
will get overwritten in /usr or /usr/local.
If you want to use yum, install only one MPI flavor.

OR (after removing the old packages with yum):

Reinstall OpenMPI from source.
Use the --prefix-/your/target/OpenMPI/dir during configure.

Reinstall MPICH2 from source.
Use the --prefix-/your/target/MPICH2/dir during configure.

Use different directories for OpenMPI and MPICH2.
Or install only one MPI flavor.

I hope this helps.

            they are ok but we wanted something better, which would more
            clearly show de diff in using a single pc and the cluster.

            @Prakash
            i had prob with running de programs as they were compiling
            using mpcc n not mpicc

            @gus
            we are tryin 2 figure out de hpl config, its quite complicated,


        I sent you some sketchy instructions to build HPL,
        on my last message to this thread.
        I built HPL and run it here yesterday that way.
        Did you try my suggestions?
        Where did you get stuck?


            also de locate command lists lots of confusing results.


        I would say the list is just long, not really confusing.
        You can  find what you need if you want.
        Pipe the output of locate through "more", and search carefully.
        If you are talking about BLAS try "locate libblas.a" and
        "locate libgoto.a".
        Those are the libraries you need, and if they are not there
        you need to install one of them.
        Read my previous email for details.
        I hope it will help you get HPL working, if you are interested
        on HPL.


        I hope this helps.
