That doesn't matter for  REMD, here we use TCP/IP networking directly. 
Therefore, you need to start 16 separate processes, in your case preferably 
using only one core, but that you require already with mpiexec -n 1. Your 
command above starts the server, but in addition, you need 15 more clients 
(note the error...). According to the help of peptidebuilder.tcl, clients are 
started by specifying "-connect" in addition, that is
 
$PATH-to/mpiexec -n 1 $PATH-to/Espresso $PATH-to/peptidebuilder.tcl 
myconfig.tcl -espresso -replica -connect
