Bugzilla Bug 136071

Hi there, after installing lam-mpi-7.1.1 on my computer, specifying USE=-crypt
to enable rsh communication in place of ssh one, I have errors launching it:

$ lamboot 

LAM 7.1.1/MPI 2 C++/ROMIO - Indiana University

ERROR: LAM/MPI unexpectedly received the following on stderr:
localshell: line 0: [: missing `]'
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LAM attempted to execute a process on the remote node
"node1.sge.ifom-ieo-campus.it",
but received some output on the standard error.  This heuristic
assumes that any output on the standard error indicates a fatal error,
and therefore aborts.  You can disable this behavior (i.e., have LAM
ignore output on standard error) in the rsh boot module by setting the
SSI parameter boot_rsh_ignore_stderr to 1.

LAM tried to use the remote agent command "rsh" 
to invoke "hboot" on the remote node.

This can indicate an authentication error with the remote agent, or
can indicate an error in your $HOME/.cshrc, $HOME/.login, or
$HOME/.profile files.  The following is a (non-inclusive) list of items
that you should check on the remote node:

        - You have an account and can login to the remote machine
        - Incorrect permissions on your home directory (should
          probably be 0755) 
        - Incorrect permissions on your $HOME/.rhosts file (if you are
          using rsh -- they should probably be 0644) 
        - You have an entry in the remote $HOME/.rhosts file (if you
          are using rsh) for the machine and username that you are
          running from
        - Your .cshrc/.profile must not print anything out to the 
          standard error
        - Your .cshrc/.profile should set a correct TERM type
        - Your .cshrc/.profile should set the SHELL environment
          variable to your default shell

Try invoking the following command at the unix command line:

        rsh node1.sge.ifom-ieo-campus.it -n '( ! [ -e ./.profile] || .
./.profile;' hboot -t -c lam-conf.lamd -s -I '"-H 85.239.175.36 -P 32809 -n 1
-o 0"' )

You will need to configure your local setup such that you will *not*
be prompted for a password to invoke this command on the remote node.
No output should be printed from the remote node before the output of
the command is displayed.

When you can get this command to execute successfully by hand, LAM
will probably be able to function properly.

I think that is because it launches the following:

[ -e ./.profile] 

where a space is missing before the bracket.

Proposal of patch to add the space before the bracket

Fixed in 7.1.2.
