Hi Rachel
Previously, I succeeded in getting amber (9) to run and pass the test
on AIX (v 5.something, on power3 and power5?) and followed the
procedure that I think was already described on this list in response
to one of your previous emails.
I think Ross Walker already answered this question earlier, but there
were additional problems that you solved first.
i've pasted in the response below. In summary, I haven't seen AIX
configured to use "mpirun" as the program to run mpi parallel programs,
but rather I've seen it configured with poe. I've copied Ross Walker's
answer below and highlighted the part that I think you still need to
fix:
> mpirun: Command not found.

Those commands work for c-shell (csh, tcsh, etc.) If you are using sh,
bash, etc, use the "export" command instead. Let us know if you need
help with that. If you type "env" at your shell, you should see if
DO_PARALLEL is set to poe or to mpirun. If "which poe" doesn't turn up
the path to poe, then your machine may not be configured for it, or
it's simply not in your path and you should look for poe.
Hope this is helpful!
