That did not work. I then tried with only ./configure --prefix=/my/bin/folder. That worked so I also did make and make install.

Are they using the same binaries /my/bin/folder for a non-interactive startup too, i.e.:

$ ssh sargeant which hydra_pmi_proxy

returns the same as on the master (maybe ~/.bashrc needs to set the $PATH)?

I have captured the output from such failed attempt to run that software on all available nodes on all available computers in the cluster, see below. I have attached c2.txt and m2.txt (and the output of the failed run) in the attached gzipped file (the failed run in run2.txt and in the image below may not be from the same failed run...).

I thought it may be associated with the fortran compile but I have F77 installed (though somewhat confused whether fortran 90 is also installed).  The README file suggested that I send an email to this list with nominated four text files attached.
