[Trilinos-Users] PyTrilinos and MPI_comm_size error

[Scott Askey]

When use the Epetra.PyComm() method in both my PyTrilinos version built from source on a Centos 5.4 with openmpi 1.4 (on computer A) and  the packages installed from the debian sid repositories (on computer B) I get the following error with Epetra.PyComm(). 

The the mpi paths in the cmake file point to the the directory where I installed openmpi.   Are there some mpi parameters that need to be set in the environment to assist the  MPI_comm_size?

V/R
