[Wien] I still have problem with wienk in parallel mode

Maybe not a solution, but just a thought.

Regarding error message:

time mpirun -np 4 -machinefile .machine: Name or service not known

It starts out with the command "time".  I wonder if all Linux operating 
system have "time" as a core installed command or if it is a package 
that usually has to be installed.  Probably a good idea to check it 
exists on the system.

Kind Regards,

Gavin
