[MPICH] Newbee having pblms installing on sun

[Karl Schleicher]

Rajeev,
Results are very similar:

Configuring MPICH2 version 1.0.2
sourcing /home/karl/mpi/mpich2-1.0.2p1/src/pm/mpd/setup_pm
checking for gcc... cc
cat: cannot open confdefs.h
checking for C compiler default output file name... Can't open conftest.c
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

I did complete the configuration on my desktop, but is not try the 
make.  On that computer "uname -a" produces:

SunOS c12 5.9 Generic_118558-06 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-30

I wonder if the problem is the shared memory multi-processor Enterprise.  I really need to lash up several of these computers to work on my problem and want to use MPI to handle the message passing.  I already have the code multi threaded on one system.

Thanks,
Karl
