I got the following error message when running OpenSeesMP on TACC Ranger machine:

Process Terminating 0

it's probably because they only have version tcl 8.4 installed .. lassign didn't come into the language until tcl 8.5

Thanks. I'll ask them to install tcl 8.5 and let you know.

The admin on Ranger were not able to install Tcl 8.5. So let's just stick with 8.4 for now (I just removed lassign from my script and use something else instead).

Users can install tcl8.5 for their own environment on ranger.
You can try it.

best regards,

Ning.

Thanks Ning. I installed 8.5 in my folder. Later I realized I have to build my own OpenSeesMP since the one Frank provided was connected to 8.4 provided by the machine.

Anyway, it's too much to build a new MP. So I just live with the existing one.

Best wishes,
