Hi Kin,<br>
<br>
MPICH3.2.1 mpirun should work fine with any application arguments.<br>
<br>
Can you please first run a simple helloworld program without arguments ?<br>
mpirun -np 2 ./helloworld<br>
<br>
Then try to add some arguments in the program ? <br>
mpirun -np 2 ./helloworld arg1=xx arg2=xx<br>
<br>
If you still see the issue in the second step, please send the reproducer program to us. Thanks.<br>
<br>
Min<br>

https://www.mpich.org/static/downloads/3.3/mpich-3.3-userguide.pdf</a>, you guys said :<br>
<br>
========================================================================<br>
MPICH1 (more precisely MPICH1's mpirun) required access to command<br>
line arguments in all application programs, including Fortran ones, and<br>
configure devoted some e ort to nding the libraries that contained the right versions of<br>
iargc and getarg and including those libraries with which the mpifort<br>
script linked MPI programs. Since MPICH does not<br>
require access to command line arguments to applications, these functions<br>
are optional, and configure does nothing special with them. If you need<br>
them in your applications, you will have to ensure that they are available in<br>
the Fortran environment you are using<br>
==================================================================<br>
<br>
Why do I need to do when compiling MPICH3 (or mcnpx) to take care of the "iargc"/"getarg" part as mentioned in this note ??<br>
</tt><br>
<tt><tt>I just ran mpich3 like mpich1 :<br>
<br>
</tt><tt>$ ~/mpich3/bin/mpirun -np 5 -f machines ~kinyip/v270/bin/mpich3/mcnpx i=ptest n=ptest1.<br>
<br>
That's, putting the arguments "</tt><tt>i=ptest n=ptest1." behind the application "mcnpx".<br>
<br>
Is it the normal way of using mpich3 ?? In your user guide, you don't have an example of running your application with argument.<br>
<br>
Can you please comment here ??? </tt></tt><tt><br>

I've got an old code which works in MPICH1 (or 2). Now, I try to use MPICH3 . I've compiled MPICH3.2.1 with:<br>

env F77_GETARGDECL=" " CC="gcc" CXX="g++" FC="gfortran -ff2c -fno-second-underscore" ./configure --with-pm=hydra:gforker:remshell --enable-f90 --enable-f77 --enable-sharedlib --prefix=$HOME/mpich3<br>
<br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="direction: ltr; margin: 0; padding: 0;
font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: black; ">
and then used it to compile the old code (MCNPX).<br>
<br>

It seems that it doesn't understand the "argument" above, which is " i=ptest n=ptest1. ". The gfortran does understand getarg etc. (otherwise, it'd not work with MPICH1).<br>

Do you have any advice to solve the "argument" problem.??<br>
