[Pw_forum] parallel compilation on core2duo cluster

[merlin meheut]

Dear pwscf users,

I am trying to run pwscf in parallel on a core2duo cluster. It seems  
to compile fine (I am using mpiifort), and I am able to send a  
parallel calculation on two cores (therefore two processes but only  
one processor). Unfortunately, when I want to use more cores, and  
therefore more than one processor,  for example:

  > mpirun -np 4 pw.x -npool 1 < scf.inp

this runs four processes but only on two cores, with the following  
error at the beginning of the output:

> You can't run mpdboot on ['compute-0-5'] version of python must be  
> >= 2.4, current ['']

I have been said that this error could be corrected by adding -r ssh, with:

  > mpirun -r ssh -np 4 pw.x -npool 1 < scf.inp

but actually, this does not make any difference.

Would you have any idea on the origin of this error and how to correct it?

Best regards,
