[mpich-discuss] Error with MPI_Comm_spawn on MPICH2

[Rajeev Thakur]

I can run this with 1.0.8 without any problem. The program is too simple to
fail. Probably something wrong with your installation. Did you use any
special configure options or compilers? Try starting from scratch again with
a fresh untar of the tar file. If you notice anything unusual in the output
of configure and make that is printed on the screen, send it to us.
