We eventually reloaded pvm 3.4.4 on the cluster from the tar file we used in the production environment (a loosely knit cluster of workstations in a computer lab), and loaded the 2.3.2 version of HMMER which works fine. The HMMER supplied (2.2g) somehow did not work but we didn't bother troubleshooting it... On another track - the lam seems to have a version conflict: lam-6.5.6-4 is installed and runs with small test jobs. The lam-mpi version in the /opt directory (and that shows up with rpm -qa ) is lam-mpi-7.0.3-1> Is this a problem? None of the gromacs mpi executables are present and when we tried installing them they give an execution error with a broken pipe. The lamboot with the /opt/lam-mpi doesn't start.
