Hello,
I installed the latest MPICH on a FreeBSD standalone box. It compiled
w/o problems and also the test program in examples/basic named cpi
compiled fine.
mpirun -np 1 cpi works, but when I try to get two processes I get:

mpirun -np 2 -v cpi
running /home/thimm/mpich/examples/basic/cpi on 2 386BSD ch_p4
processors
Created /usr/home/thimm/mpich/examples/basic/PI523
rm_652:  p4_error: rm_start: net_conn_to_listener failed: 1035

I changed the contents of machines.freebsd to reflect 5 times localhost
(otherwise something about No route to my hostname appeared).
I also created a file cpi.pg containing one line only: "local 5", but
that didn't work either.

Does the problem have to do something about not beeing online? (Maybe
there are no sockets available???). I am no expert, but when I try
telnet localhost it works, so TCP/IP should work, shouldn't it?

Any help is greatly appreciated,
	Axel Thimm.
