Hi Manoharan,
This is an error originating from mpirun. Try this:
ldd /usr/local/bin/mpirun
You will likely see "libopen-rte.so.7 => not found". Did you install the MPI library yourself? You may need to add a folder to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. The folder you need to add depends on where you installed MPI.
Note that if you are running ABySS on a single machine you don't need to run with multiple processors (don't use np=8 here). You won't get this error if you thread the remaining programs instead by using the j=8 parameter.
