Siegmar,
Adding discuss at mpich.org back to the cc list. Please don't drop it.
First, don't add the full path. That'll not help when the executable is
at two different paths on the two machines.
Can you please run this from both sunpc1 and linpc1:
% mpiexec -np 2 -hosts sunpc1,linpc1 which hostname
The reason I'm still curious whether both machines are seeing the same
path is because one of the machines is accessed locally (through fork)
while the other is accessed over ssh. So the environment you are seeing
by logging in might not be the same as the environment you'd see by a
non-interactive ssh launch.
