Hi again,

I'm getting confused: are you now using MPICH or Open MPI? The mpirun  
command must be the one used for compilation, they are not  
interchangable.

All my hints up to now were for using MPICH with SGE. If you use Open  
MPI with SGE it's different.

Also in you other post I saw "orted" processes. So: you are using Open  
MPI, and not MPICH - right?
