[yt-users] Problem with Rockstar in yt

[Brian O'Shea]

Hi folks,

Just a quick followup: I've now run this on a different machine and
verified that the reason I couldn't use Rockstar in parallel was due to a
MPI problem.  *HOWEVER*, I still have the same Rockstar error that I was
reporting before when I was using one core (all using the same script as in
my previous email):

http://paste.yt-project.org/show/3747/

So, it does seem like there is a bug, or I am simply using Rockstar
incorrectly...
