Just installed ubuntu 26.04 and openmpi. I tried using mpirun --version and got the following message
mpirun --version
Sorry! You were supposed to get help about:
version
But I couldn’t open the help file:
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pmix2/share/pmix/help-schizo-ompi.txt: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/prrte3/share/prte/help-schizo-ompi.txt: No such file or directory.
Sorry!
However mpirun itself seems to work perfectly for a sample use of
mpirun -n 2 hostname
Can anybody tell me if this issue could be serious at some point? I work in scientific computing, specifically CFD. I test out some open source software at times. Does anyone with experience think the inability to check version could be a problem down the line? Is the cmake likely to check the mpi version before compiling the code, for example? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
