[maker-devel] Issue setting up Maker for MPI on cluster

[Zoe Clarke]

Hello!

I am having a bit of trouble running Maker on a compute cluster with MPI. I
am using the Compute Canada cluster which actually had Maker installed with
openmpi, but I don't think it was installed quite properly as Maker crashes
after 6 hours. I then decided to install Maker using a mpich that was
available on the cluster but ran into an error. I figured this error may
have been due to mpich not being set up with the shared libraries, so I
installed a new version of mpich and configured Maker following
instructions on this thread:
http://gmod.827538.n3.nabble.com/WARNING-Multiple-MAKER-processes-td4040133.html

After following the instructions on this thread exactly, I am running into
the exact same errors that I previously ran into with mpich, which are
permission errors pasted below. I'm thinking I might have to modify some
permissions somewhere, but I'm not sure where - do you know why this
process is failing? I am testing Maker using the
command /home/zocla/mpich3/bin/mpiexec -n 3 maker --help and getting the
error below.

Thanks so much for your help!
