Hi all, I'm new with OpenFoam (few days), and i'am trying to run in parallel.
I have a decomposeParDict file which works. But when i try to run typing this :

mpirun -np 4 icoFoam -parallel

i get the following errors :

It looks like orte_init failed for some reason; your parallel process is
likely to abort.  There are many reasons that a parallel process can
fail during orte_init; some of which are due to configuration or
environment problems.  This failure appears to be an internal failure;
here's some additional information (which may only be relevant to an
Open MPI developer):

  orte_ess_base_build_nidmap failed
  --> Returned value Data unpack would read past end of buffer (-26) instead of ORTE_SUCCESS

mpirun has exited due to process rank 0 with PID 10408 on
node bxp0205linux exiting improperly. There are two reasons this could occur:

1. this process did not call "init" before exiting, but others in
the job did. This can cause a job to hang indefinitely while it waits
for all processes to call "init". By rule, if one process calls "init",
then ALL processes must call "init" prior to termination.

2. this process called "init", but exited without calling "finalize".
By rule, all processes that call "init" MUST call "finalize" prior to
exiting or it will be considered an "abnormal termination"

This may have caused other processes in the application to be
terminated by signals sent by mpirun (as reported here).

Thanks if someone can help me

I finally re-install Openfoam with the source pack :

http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php

instead of the ubuntu deb pack... and it works !!
