On Mac OS the path is: /Applications/Mathematica.app/Contents/MacOS/MathKernel Regards, Nate On Mon, Aug 9, 2010 at 4:13 AM, Cristobal Navarro <axischire at gmail.com>wrote: > hello, > > i am having problems launching remote kernels. > i have a Xeon server (Linux) on which mathematica is installed, and > the "math" command works. > > on my laptop, i have linux too, and on mathematica i add the kernel to > be launched on the remote (the server) node. > then i try one example: > 2+2 > > i press shift+enter... mathematica asks me to insert the password of > the remote node user name.... ok and then i get error message: > > "The kernel serverKernel failed to connect to the front end.
