[MPICH] Compiling mpich2 on Mac OS X

[Trach-Minh Tran]

Hi Enrique,

I was able to build mpich2-1.0.3 on Mac OSX, using the g95 compiler(http://g95.org) by
doing the following:
...
export F77="g95"
export F90="g95"
export LIBS="-lSystemStubs"
configure \
   --enable-f90 --enable-f77 \
   --with-java=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.4.2/Home
make
make install
...

Good luck,   -Minh.
