Description Yuri Victorovich freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2018-07-19 00:31:04 UTC
mpirun command doesn't find mpd.conf by default:
> printf "Hello worldktrace -di mpirun -np 4 prinf "Hello worldktrace -di mpirun -np 4 ls""
> unable to find mpd.conf file

Based on the ktrace log it only looks for /home/{user}/.mpd.conf and then fails, while the mpd.conf file /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf is installed (with a sample).

Could you please change the behavior and make it look for the installed /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf by default?

Thanks!

It should either look for /home/{user}/.mpd.conf and /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf, or only for /usr/local/etc/mpd.conf, but not just for /home/{user}/.mpd.conf.

Are you sure?

According to the comments in src/pm/mpd/mpdroot.c:

    /*
     * We look for a readable mpd.conf in the following order.
     * - MPD_CONF_FILE set in environment
     * - .mpd.conf in the user's home directory
     * - The system wide default in SYSCONFDIR/mpd.conf
     */

Ok, then it should follow this order, but the last step (SYSCONFDIR/mpd.conf) obviously isn't followed, or SYSCONFDIR is mismatching or not set.

(Sorry for the delay...)

I tested it on 2 different machines, and I cannot see the problem.

Could you please run `make configure' and then attach the file
/usr/ports/net/mpich2/work/mpich2-1.5/src/pm/mpd/Makefile ?

It should contain a line beginning with:
sysconfdir = ${prefix}/etc

Could you please also attach the installed file
/usr/local/bin/mpdlib.py ?

It should contain the lines:
        elif hasattr(os,'getuid')  and  os.getuid() == 0:    # if ROOT
            parmsRCFilename = os.path.abspath('/usr/local/etc/mpd.conf')

Thanks!

Yuri, is this still relevant?

I'll retest once I get a chance.
