[MPICH] installing on sun. config.log attached

[Rusty Lusk]

To install the default mpd process manager, you will need to install
Python (as the Installation Guide explains).  Python is free from
python.org and is relatively easy to install.

If you are going to run on a single machine, you can use a different
process manager, which does not require Python.  Configure with

  configure ...  --with-pm=gforker  ...

That will configure a different version of mpiexec, which works fine for
single hosts.

Regards,
Rusty
