Dear colleagues,

Has anyone installed and run parallel Gaussian 98 jobs successfully on
Linux 
clusters running RedHat8.0?
Parallel Gaussiam 98 jobs ran well on my Linux cluster with RedHat 7.3,
both
on single node with dual AMD MP processors (nproc=2) and on more than
two nodes.
However, after upgrade the OS to RedHat8.0 and PGI 4.0, parallel jobs
with 
nproc=2 spwans two processes but only one of them is actually running,
parallel 
job nproclinda=2 only spwans a process on the master node, the slave
node has 
an idle l302.exel process and eventually the job fails.
Any suggestion on how to fix this problem will be appreciated.

Best Regards
