mpirun has detected an attempt to run as root????

Hi,

my account in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is absolutely non-root user, but I can not start mpirun and see the error message.

Code:

mpirun has detected an attempt to run as root.

Running at root is *strongly* discouraged as any mistake (e.g., in

defining TMPDIR) or bug can result in catastrophic damage to the OS

file system, leaving your system in an unusable state.



You can override this protection by adding the --allow-run-as-root

option to your cmd line. However, we reiterate our strong advice

against doing so - please do so at your own risk.

Does someone have an idea?

Did you solve this problem?

I would like to know if you have resolved this. Please let me know how :)

Hi,

Did you solve the problem?

You can try adding this to your .bashrc file:

Code:

export OMPI_ALLOW_RUN_AS_ROOT=1

export OMPI_ALLOW_RUN_AS_ROOT_CONFIRM=1
