Try to re-configure your application, perform a "make
CONFIG-realclean", and then recompile.

+ If you built Cactus with the ch_p4 device of the MPICH distribution
+ and then execute the program directly (without using mpirun), it will
+ start in the directory where the executable resides.
+ If you specified a relative path to your parameter file Cactus would
+ start searching for it from that directory (rather than the directory
+ you are currently working in) and then potentially not find it.
+
+ The solution is to never run an MPICH ch_p4 executable directly but
+ always use mpirun. This will make sure that the program will start
+ in your current working directory.
