[MPICH2 Req #1798] [MPICH] Problem compiling mpich2-1.0.2p1 on FreeBSD 5.4

[Anthony Chan]

Yann Golanski,

What your original configure with --disable-f77 is misleading and
possibility a bug in mpich2's fortran support that exposes an
incompatibility of mpe2 (with mpich2) that had been fixed in our cvs
shortly after 1.0.2 release.

On my testing FreeBSD(5.3) machine, there is no f90 compiler.  So
mpich2-1.0.2p1 configure fails in a f90 test that tries to determine some
sizes, so configure turns off all fortran support(including f77 support).
If you configure mpich2-1.0.2p1 with --disable-f90, everything in mpe2
including the collective and datatype checking library will be built
fine.  The --disable-f90 option will include f77 support.

If you really don't want any fortran support, you should then
replaced mpich2-1.0.2p1/src/mpe2 by the mpe2 directory from
ftp://ftp.mcs.anl.gov/pub/mpi/mpe/mpe2-1.0.2p4.tar.gz
( NOT mpe2-1.0.2p5.tar.gz ).  configure mpich2-1.0.2p1 with
--disable-f77 and --disable-f90, and make again.  Everything will work.

Let us know if this is the case on FreeBSD 5.4.
