Re: Problem running FIREFLY on a 64-bit MPICH2 environment

You must create the 32 bit MPICH2 libraries on your 64 bit nodes and they must be in the PATH and the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variables.

Firefly will only work with the 32 bit libraries.

But, when I run FIREFLY in the 64-bit nodes I got the message "error while loading shared libraries: libmpich.so.1.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" and the job dies. I suspect there is some problem with the libraries against FIREFLY was compiled (32-bit perhaps?), but I'm far from being an expert, so I'd appreciate very much any help/hint to solve the problem. I've tried to add the -arch flag to mpiexec but it is not implemented yet.
