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.

  • What setup is required? – Alvin Jul 23 '13 at 11:06
  • I'm really not sure what's required to make that work. Is there a reason you can't upgrade to the newest version? – Wesley Bland Jul 23 '13 at 14:23
  • I can upgrade it to new version. But the problem is I have done benchmarking by using MPICH2 1.4 version. Now they are asking me to do with the same version. – Alvin Jul 24 '13 at 06:15
  • Is there any chance you can do both benchmarks with the most recent version (3.0.4)? If you're looking for performance, you're almost always going to get better results with a more recent version. – Wesley Bland Jul 24 '13 at 13:59
