[molpro-user] Running molpro2008.1 in parallel doesn't work

Dear all,

I just installed the Molpro 2008.1 binary version 

Version 2008.1 for architecture Linux/em64t, standard code, mpp (Patchlevel 5)

on two different Linux clusters but I can't have it run on several nodes 
(either with the -N option or using pbs qsub command).

I can run it parallel on a single node even with several cpus.
When I launch it from the master, tasks are actually sent to the nodes, but 
then they just sit there and do not progress (cpu time remains 0:00).

Version 2006 was running without any problem.

Below is what I get after I submit the job using 

	molpro -N leininge:node10:1,leininge:node11:1 H2O.in

or qsub.

I really can't figure out what is going on.
I tried various things around the 
 workaround: parallel M2008 stalls on startup under SuSE   submitted by
Gershom (Jan)Martin to the mailing October 2008 but nothing helped.

Thank you in advance.

	Thierry
