Subject: [OMPI users] Error in mx_init (error MX library incompatible with driver version)

This is a question I raised before but for OpenMPI over IB.
I have build the app with the Portland compiler and OpenMPI 1.2.3 for
Myrinet and InfiniBand. Now I wish to run this on some nodes that have
no fast interconnect. We use GridEngine, this is the script:
#!/bin/csh
#$ -cwd
##$ -j y
module purge
module load dot sge openmpi/pgi/64/1.2.3
echo "Got slots"
mpirun -np $NSLOTS --mca btl "sm,self,tcp" ./t2eco2n_mp
This gives the following error message:
[node168:30330] Error in mx_init (error MX library incompatible with
driver version)

[node168:30331] Error in mx_init (error MX library incompatible with
driver version)
[node168:30330] *** Process received signal ***

[node168:30330] *** End of error message ***
Although the mismatch between MX lib version and the kernel version
appears to cause the mx_init error this should never be called as there
is no mx card on those nodes.
Thanks in advance for any advice to solve this
