Running PDP++ on remote nodes



Hello,

The simulation I am working on has now become quite large, and I am having
some difficulties getting it to run on our HPC grid.  It runs fine on the
master node, but when I use qmon to submit a job to other nodes, the
program crashes.

I use the command:

bp++ -nogui

To start bp++, which works fine on the main node.  However, when I submit
the job, I receive an error message:

readline: warning: rl_prep_terminal: cannot get terminal settings.

This error occurs when "bp++>" is printed to the output file.  I'm
therefore inclined to think that the program crashes because the bp++
shell is running remotely on a node, and not directly from a terminal on
the main node.

Is there a way to stop bp++ from creating its own shell?  Or to alter the
job script I submit to qmon so that I don't encounter this error when
running bp++ on other nodes?  Any suggestions would be greatly
appreciated.
