[mpich-discuss] Installation problem mpich2-1.0.6/1.0.7 on LINUX MANDRIVA 2008.1

[Rajeev Thakur]

What were the exact parameters you passed to configure, and what was the
output printed on the screen when you ran "make testing". If the "i"
versions of the I/O tests are giving trouble, you can try configuring with
--disable-aio.
