>If ~/.firefly.conf is not available script will create it by asking common questions. Before you start make sure you now MPI home directory. The directory with bin and lib directories (32-bit). NBO license information,f if you have it. If you want to use more then one CPU make sure appropriate MPI libraries is installed together with mpirun/mpiexec. In your case IntelMPI.

>>Dear Pavel Sir,
>>Thanks for encouraging me to go elaborately trough the manual. The points I noted from it:

>>1) I need to provide paths to bin and lib folders.. both for 32 bit Intel MPI..

>>2) There is a mention of Intel MPI-v3.x in the manual..

>>The Problem::

>>So I checked on my system and found that it has ONLY Intel MPI- v4.1.x (32 and 64 bit both) installed... SO I added the paths to 32-bit bin and lib folders.. which were inside ..../impi/4.1.0.024/ia32/.
>>Did I do right?? But the problem persists giving error "Unable to open input file".. File permissions are also proper.

>>Please help.

>>>Check also "Installing Firefly on an InfiniBand network 64-bit Linux cluster

>>>Again, read very carefully the manual and use a search. There is also manual - how to setup FF with OpenMPI. Please, search on this forum.
