[BioBrew Users] Trouble running mpiBlast

Hi Glen,
Thanks for the rpms. The new lam is working fine as we
can run some of the programs with this lam. But the
problem starts when we try to run mpiblast from your
ncbi rpm. It asks for lamb to run.

We tried with the following command:
/opt/lam/7.0.4/bin/mpirun n0 N
/opt/BioBrew/NCBI/6.1.0/bin/mpiblast
--conf-file=/opt/BioBrew/NCBI/6.1.0/etc/mpiblast.conf
-p blastp -i mpi_test_blast/test.seq -d swissprot -o
results.txt

 and the output is as bellow:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that there is no lamd running on the host .

This indicates that the LAM/MPI runtime environment is
not operating. The LAM/MPI runtime environment is
necessary for MPI programs to run (the MPI program
tired to invoke the "MPI_Init" function).
 
Please run the "lamboot" command the start the LAM/MPI
runtime environment.  See the LAM/MPI documentation
for how to invoke "lamboot" across multiple machines.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
It seems that [at least] one of the processes that was
started with mpirun did not invoke MPI_INIT before
quitting (it is possible that more than one process
did not invoke MPI_INIT -- mpirun was only notified of
the first one, which was on node n0).
 
mpirun can *only* be used with MPI programs (i.e.,
programs that invoke MPI_INIT and MPI_FINALIZE).  You
can use the "lamexec" program to run non-MPI programs
over the lambooted nodes.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moreover, while installing ncbitools-6.1.0-1.i386.rpm
it showed the following warning:
 user glen does not exist - using root

Is the ncbitools-6.1.0-1.i386.rpm is not proper or we
are making some mistake while running the mpiblast.

with regards,
Soumyadeep
