[MPICH] ch3:sctp configure broken

[Brad Penoff]

hey Steve,

I have been running mpich2-1.0.5p4 ch3:sctp on FreeBSD 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0 
very recently (EuroPVM/MPI deadline) so I'm surprised it's failing.  I had 
a few questions about your setup...

1) Just curious, but do you have SCTP-capable kernels?
2) Which FreeBSD and which kernel are you using?
3) Do non-MPI/"normal" SCTP-based applications work?
4) What arguments did you supply to configure?
5) Can you send me (off-list) your src/mpid/ch3/channels/sctp/config.log?

There is some help in the top-level README file; just search for ch3:sctp. 
There are some stack-specific instructions on how to compile (and if you 
followed them already, I don't mean to insult you).

Hopefully we can get this resolved!
