Help!!! mpt_connect: error on linux amd64 Help!!!

Mauro Sc

We installed fluent 6.2.6 on six computers (Athlon X2 4400 dual core running kubuntu linux with a custom 2.6.14.3 kernel) and it runs fine on a single pc. We tried to run a parallel process today on two nodes but it never started. All hosts have password-less access to other hosts using ssh, there is a symlink that connects /usr/bin/rsh and /usr/bin/ssh, the working directory is an nfs export mounted on all nodes, all nodes have the same username (fluent ) and there are no lan problems.

When I type

fluent 3d -pnet

it starts just fine, then I click on parallel>network>configure... , kill the running node (localhost) and select two hosts and insert a number (2 for example) in "spawn count", then I click on "spawn"; here is the output:

Kill script file is /home/fluent/kill-fluent-fl01-10798 Host spawning Node 0 on machine "fl02" (unix). Starting exec /home/fluent/Fluent.Inc/fluent6.2.16/lnamd64/3d_node/fluent_net.6.2.16 net node -mport 127.0.0.1:192.168.1.202:32791:0

Then it hangs waiting for a kill.

Starting fluent typing

fluent 3d -t2 -cln=.fluent.hosts

fluent starts running but never starts processing here is the output:
