[mpich-discuss] Question on the Centos/RH binaries for 1.2.1

[Hiatt, Dave M]

If I may, I have a question.  I am a neophyte in terms of Linux, just setting up my first Linux node.  I have many Windows x64 XP nodes running.  But I am in great need to get a binary up and running on the Centos equivalent of RH 5.3.

I followed the URL's on the site but I don' t really understand the nomenclature for the releases.  I took the "el" to mean Enterprise editions, and the "fc" to mean the standard releases.  I have so far one box built up for Linux on the Centos RH 5.3 equivalent.  I am running x64.  I picked the 1.2.1 release version, and followed that, but do not have the Linux knowledge to decipher what the 1.; 2.; 3. meanings are and what fc1x implies.  I downloaded 1.fc13, 2.fc13, and 3.fc13 thinking they are related and should be installed in that order.  Is that correct?  Could you educate me.  Sorry for my ignorance.

Dave
