unable to find mpd.conf file

Question

I have installed MPICH2 1.4 version on RHEL. Whenever I'm trying to run a program then it is throwing following error

unable to find mpd.conf file

How to resolve this problem.?

Answer 1

This error comes from running an old version of MPICH that requires some setup. You might try upgrading to a much newer version (the latest is 3.0.4) available at http://www.mpich.org and you don't have to worry about setting up MPD because it will use the newer process manager (Hydra) by default.
