[MPICH] installing on sun. config.log attached

[Karl Schleicher]

Rajeev,
At your request, I removed all the directory created by tar (including 
the hidden subdirectory without execute permission).  I did a fresh tar, 
your recommended setenv's, and ./configure.  Results were the same.  I 
created a little c program (hello world) which compiled and ran 
successfully. 

I understand you routine build on solaris platform.  I to get much 
further on my Sun desktop (SunOS 5.9 Ultra 30) before failing because I 
do not have Python installed.   My servers (SunOS 5.6 Ultra-Enterprise) 
fail much sooner with the logs I sent you.  What experience is there 
with MPI on Enterprise systems?

Thanks,
Karl
