i am not certain about what the problems are since both SCALAPACK on lam
6.3.2 and SCALAPACK on mpich 1.2.0 worked. the scalapack i am using is the
patched 1.6.  

however, i am insufficient information for you as of the moment. the
problem however is that i compiled both LAM and SCALAPACK(ATLAS and
LAPACK) from source. i encountered no compilation problems. i ran the
xdlutimer test and loaded top on the other nodes to see if the jobs were
being done. and i was right the jobs where being done. however, there are
no results displayed. upon the recommendation of some people installed
MPICH and bounded SCALAPACK with it instead and it worked fine with more
or less the same config? strange.
