[MPICH] configuting mpich2-1.0.5p2 problems to be used with Totalview 8.0.2-0 later

[Anthony Chan]

Here is the 1st line in your configure.log:

configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type: <80><93>-enable-debuginfo
Configuring MPICH2 version 1.0.5 with
'-prefix=/home/mhelal/mpich2-install' '
<80><93>-enable-debuginfo' '--enable-g=dbg,mem,log'
'--enable-sharedlibs=gcc' 'build_alias=<80><93>-enable-debuginfo'
'host_alias=<80><93>-enable-debuginfo' '
target_alias=<80><93>-enable-debuginfo'

configure thinks that there are characters <80><93> for the first "-" of
each --enable-xxx, even stranger is that there are characters
"build_alias=" prepended to --enable-debuginfo and so on.  Are you doing
configure in front of the machine?  or connected remotely to the machine?
What terminal program you are using ?...
