[MPICH] mpich2-1.0.3 configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

Tue Jan 29 15:15:34 CST 2008

It looks like you might have CFLAGS and LDFLAGS set to -m32, but your 
new machines ias a 64-bit OS installed.  Try this to unset those 
variables (assuming you're running bash):

   unset CFLAGS
   unset LDFLAGS

and give it a try again.  If this works, look in your .bashrc or 
.bash_profile to see if you're setting those there.

-d
