Re: [ptp-user] Problems with current PTP
Hi Michele,

It may also be that you've hit a bug in the debugger. I you still don't have success, I'd appreciate it if you'd open a bug against PTP using bugzilla (http://bugs.eclipse.org/ bugs) and attach a sample code that demonstrates the problem.

Regards,
Greg

Dear Beth,

Thanks in advance.

Sorry you're having problems, Michele.
Updating: If you installed the "Eclipse IDE for Parallel Application Developers" ("package") and then did a Help > Check for Updates there probably aren't any updates to *that package.*

It's exactly what I did.


But then if you install PTP 5.0.7, from the PTP-specific update site, "already installed and will perform an update instead" is what it should say, yes.

It's exactly what happened.


So you did the right thing if you installed the package then updated by installing the most recent PTP.
(Described here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/release_notes/5.0#Updating_from_the_Parallel_Package_to_a_more_recent_release)

I didn't read that link and I'll do it now, to double check what I did.

Sounds like you correctly did what's described here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/PTP/release_notes/5.0#Install_optional_PTP_server_components

You're running locally (eclipse and the mpi program on the same box) right?

Right.
 

Can you launch and run from PTP/Eclipse?

Yes.
 

Can you debug a simple MPI 'hello world' program with the PTP Debugger?

I've not tried such a simple program ... I'll try on monday on the same machine where I had the problem.
 

I see you have OpenMPI 1.6
Greg may have other insights....

Yes, I've updated it.

A strange thing that happened was that when I tried to update the PTP from the Eclipse GUI, it did not update anything.
Then I tried to install PTP 5.0.7 and the installer told me that it was already installed and that it would have performed an update instead.

Then I separately downloaded the "proxy" package (v. 5.0.7) and built the sdm.

And I had the problem I described. Some more details. I'm using a Linux CentOS 5.x OS, on a x86_64 machine. I'm using Open MPI 1.6.

Thanks,
Best regards.

Michele

    Hi Michelle,

    I am not the best person to answer, but a problem I've already had was
    not updating the SDM binary. Have you updated it along with PTP?

    Best regards,
    Rodrigo.
