Hi Sravan:
Since you are using the RPMs we built, maybe I can help.

Good. These binaries are built against mpich-1.2.6. I have not done a
build against LAM yet, though I would like to. This is relevant a
little later on in the error message portion.

Good.

Since mpiblast (from the RPM) is not using LAM, this is going to be an
issue when you try to run it.

execution: ./mpiblast.sh on the masternode (silk-node 7 n0)

Sorry, mpiBLAST must be run on 3 or more nodes
[0] MPI Abort by user Aborting program !
[0] Aborting program!
Yes. Makes sense (oddly enough), as this version of the mpiblast RPM
was built against mpich-1.2.6. I would be happy to build against LAM (I
have 7.0.3, 7.0.6, and 7.1.1 installed on my build machine), though it
might take a little while.
Unfortunately, MPI != MPI. I cannot take a LAM compiled binary and run
it on an MPICH system, nor can I take an MPICH compiled binary and run
it on an LAM system. I would like us to get there, but this requires an
MPI ABI, and a few other bits (agreement on how MPI processes are
started, etc).

I did not include them in the RPM. Would you like a separate RPM with
the data files?
