All speech, no dev?

I have been to some ILUG meetings in Mumbai. Its a pity I couldn't all of them, I study at Nagpur. Why don't we do something about the ILUG site. Most of the links point nowhere. A bunch of motivated linuxers can't hammer up a good site? Maybe, we should all work towards that direction. Again, most of the time we talk about configuring this, installing that using this etcetra. But how may of us really take development seriously. We frown at lack of documentation, but how many of us give a hought about actually sitting down there and writing docs. How many of us develop or say even contribute? I don't know, though I joined the list only today, I strongly feel about what I am saying here. And it's high time we all did something about it. With best wishes, Amol Hatwar.

Help me out
by Santosh Majety 30 Mar '02

30 Mar '02

I am getting difficulty in running the LAM MPI program. It is getting compiled but it could find the "mpi.h" header file. Is there anything like a path to be set .... and if it is where is should be the path set. I checked in the .cshrc file but i could not find the path. Do I have to set a path out there or somewhere else. I am using everthing and running the lam environment under one root partition. Could you plz tell me whether MPI programming works under one partition or do I have to make another home partition and then specify it as NFS. Plz help me out.
