[mpich-discuss] UNUSUAL MPICH-2 ERROR

[Jeff Hammond]

You should not install have to install MPICH2 on any Blue Gene system.
 Please look in /bgsys/drivers/ppcfloor/comm/bin/ for the mpi*
compiler wrapper scripts.  If they are not present, please follow the
IBM documentation on how to install the system software via RPM.  Do
not try to install MPI on a Blue Gene by downloading the latest
MPICH2.
