I have fought for hours now to get PeriLab to work with MPI. It is PeriLab 1.5.2 , and the MPI on my machine is openmpi-4.1.1
Can someone assure me that it should indeed work? Is it possible I need an older, or different openmpi?

When I follow the "Getting Started" instructions from "https://perihub.github.io/PeriLab.jl/stable/man/getting_started/" exactly, I never see an error, the job just freezes at 0% and never progresses. The output files stay empty. I have tried various combinations of flags, and creating Julia project directories, and have received various combinations of error messages that I could potentially document in an "issue", but, before I go to that effort, I would greatly appreciate being assured that it has worked for someone else. Thank you,
