Hi Jess,

Thanks for trying MVAPICH and reporting the problem to us.

MVAPICH has a couple of make scripts for different devices (VAPI, Gen2
and uDAPL). Their names are make.mvapich.{vapi, gen2, udapl}
respectively. It is possible to install MVAPICH under user privileges.
A user can compile MVAPICH in his directory and use the binaries for
running any MPI application. More details are present at the following
links:

(MVAPICH compliation with Gen2)
http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/projects/mpi-iba/mvapich_user_guide.html#x1-100004.4.1

(MVAPICH compilation with VAPI)
http://nowlab.cse.ohio-state.edu/projects/mpi-iba/mvapich_user_guide.html#x1-110004.4.2

However, i am not sure whether the drivers for your cluster are based on
VAPI/Gen2. IMO, if you take a look at /usr/local/topspin, you may be
able to find it out, or contact your vendor for this information. Once
we have this information, we should be able to help out with respect to
compiling and installing MVAPICH on your cluster in a better fashion.

Please let us know the outcome of your findings.

Thanks again,
