[MPICH] problems linking with mpe

[David Minor]

Hi Anthony,
No, I currently have no direct calls to MPE functions in my code. I'm just trying to get basic logging working before I go on to more advanced stuff :-).
Regards,
David

There is a version of MPE that supports pthread but we are not intented to
release it as there exists a better thread logging mechanism that we are
working on.  Also, do you have MPE logging calls in your code, i.e. MPE
user-defined states ?  If you don't, thing will be easy, i.e. you just
link in the new logging libraries.  If you do, you need to add some macros
around those MPE calls in your code.  If you are willing to do that, then
I would try to clean up the code a bit and give you a copy.
