So your ssh connection is correct. And we confirmed the code itself is correct before. The problem may be somewhere else.

Could you check the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH on these three machines (oakmnt-0-a, oakmnt-0-b, and the host machine) to make sure they are the same? So that mpirun is using the same library on these machines.

But for some reason I cannot run MPICH on multiple nodes. Please let me know if more info is needed from my side. I'm guessing there are some configuration that I am missing. I used MPICH 3.1.3 for this test. I googled this problem but couldn't find any solution.
