Well i mean that actually , but as non-root. And in the user folder as 
in /home/<username>/mpich-install .
>> expect the part when i test the installation. The first test run : mpiexec -n <number> ./examples/cpi , went as planned but then the second test run on multiple nodes (mpiexec -f machinefile -n <number> ./examples/cpi) returned some errors. As the readme states there should be a machinefile. The thing is i cant find this file and tried to create it my self in the given form, just using only my laptops hostname a couple of times and placing it in the mpich installation directory ( /home/<username>/mpich-install) and that didnt fix the errors.

For now i have only this machine.Single laptop and i would like to run 
some mpi programs. Maybe in this case , perhaps is the machinefile useless??

So the primary processor manager (default) in my installation is hydra 
right?

For example mpiexec -info returns bash: mpiexec: command not found . Whats the deal with that? Didnt i installed mpich on my machine?

I thought of that too, and i checked it but unsuccessfully. Maybe it has 
to do with the fact that i didn't installed it as root.Maybe i need to 
redo the installation as root? Any suggestions? As to the install 
location etc ?
