[mpich-discuss] HP-XC 3000 cluster issues

[Gauri Kulkarni]

Ok, I have tried to recompile MPICH2 with following options. I cannot
recompile the 'global version', so I have tried to install it in my home dir
and would update the PATH accordingly. But compiling is failing at the
'configure' step with following error:

command: ./configure --prefix=/data1/visitor/cgaurik/mympi/ --with-pmi=slurm
--with-pm=no
End part of the output:
