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

[Broeders, Cornelis]

I am continuing without -g option, but it is somewhat surprising that this -g may lead to code-problems. My experience was to be careful with optimizing (-O, -O2 etc). I hope developers understand reasons.
Could somebody give me a comment on my "summary.xml" problem in my previous mail?
Thank you very  much in advance.
C. Broeders

If the 6 failing tests are the "i" versions of I/O tests, you can ignore
them for now.
