Hi Siegmar,
Glad to hear that it's working for you.
The warning message is because the loopback adapter is excluded by
default, but this adapter is actually not installed on Windows.
One solution might be installing the loopback adapter on Windows. It
very easy, only a few minutes.
Or it may be possible to avoid this message from internal Open MPI. But
I'm not sure about how this can be done.
Regards,
Shiqing

Hi Shiqing,
I have solved the problem with the double quotes in OPENMPI_HOME but
there is still something wrong.

Everything is OK if you remove the double quotes which Windows
automatically adds.

Hello!
I get the output from my program but also a warning from Open MPI.
The new value for the loopback device was introduced a short time
ago when I have had problems with the loopback device on Solaris
(it used "lo0" instead of your default "lo"). How can I avoid this
message? The 64-bit version of my program still hangs.
Kind regards
Siegmar
Could you try set OPENMPI_HOME env var to the root of the Open MPI dir?
This env is a backup option for the registry.
It solves one problem but there is a new problem now :-((
Without OPENMPI_HOME: Wrong pathname to help files.

Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
invalid if_inexclude
But I couldn't open the help file:
D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog\..\share\openmpi\help-mpi-btl-tcp.txt:
No such file or directory. Sorry!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
With OPENMPI_HOME: It nearly uses the correct directory. Unfortunately
the pathname contains the character " in the wrong place so that it
couldn't find the available help file.
set OPENMPI_HOME="c:\Program Files (x86)\openmpi-1.6.1"

It looks like that the environment variable can also solve my
problem in the 64-bit environment.

At least the program doesn't block any longer. Do you have any ideas
how this new problem can be solved?
Kind regards

Why does "mpiexec" look for the help file relativ to my current
program and not relative to itself? The file is part of the
package.
Do you know how I can solve this problem?
I have similar issue with message from tcp, but it's not finding the
file, it's something else, which doesn't affect the execution of the
application. Could you make sure the help-mpi-btl-tcp.txt is actually in
the path D:\...\prog\mpi\small_prog\..\share\openmpi\?
That wouldn't be a good idea because I have MPI programs in different
directories so that I would have to install all help files in several
places (<my_directory>/../share/openmpi/help*.txt). All help files are
available in the installation directory of Open MPI.
dir "c:\Program Files (x86)\openmpi-1.6.1\bin\mpiexec.exe"
...
29.08.2012 10:59 38.912 mpiexec.exe
...
dir "c:\Program Files
(x86)\openmpi-1.6.1\bin\..\share\openmpi\help-mpi-btl-tcp.txt"
...
03.04.2012 16:30 631 help-mpi-btl-tcp.txt
...
I don't know if "mpiexec" or my program "init_finilize" is responsible
for the error message but whoever is responsible shouldn't use the path
to my program but the prefix_dir from MPI to find the help files. Perhaps
you can change the behaviour in the Open MPI source code.
I can also compile in 64-bit mode but the program hangs.
Do you have any ideas why the program hangs? Thank you very much for any
help in advance.
To be honest I don't know. I couldn't reproduce it. Did you try
installing the binary installer, will it also behave the same?
I like to have different versions of Open MPI which I activate via
a batch file so that I can still run my program in an old version if
something goes wrong in a new one. I have no entries in the system
environment or registry so that I can even run different versions in
different command windows without problems (everything is only known
within the command window in which a have run my batch file). It seems
that you put something in the registry when I use your installer.
Perhaps you remember an earlier email where I had to uninstall an old
version because the environment in my own installation was wrong
as long as your installation was active. Nevertheless I can give it
a try. Perhaps I find out if you set more than just the path to your
binaries. Do you know if there is something similar to "truss" or
"strace" in the UNIX world so that I can see where the program hangs?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Kind regards
Siegmar
