[mpich-discuss] libmpich.so not installed?

[Anthony Chan]

"mpich2-xxx/configure --help" has this option:

--enable-sharedlibs=kind - Enable shared libraries.  kind may be
    gcc     - Standard gcc and GNU ld options for creating shared libraries
    osx-gcc - Special options for gcc needed only on OS/X
    solaris-cc - Solaris native (SPARC) compilers for 32 bit systems
    cygwin-gcc - Special options for gcc needed only for cygwin
    none    - same as --disable-sharedlibs
Only gcc, osx-gcc, and solaris-cc are currently supported

On a typical linux box, you'll need --enable-sharedlibs=gcc as part of
your configure command to get shared library support.
