Hi Dave, list

Thank you for your answer and help.
See my comments inline.

OK, perl 5.8.8 is there, but autoconf is 2.59, older than 2.62.
I must use the tarball you created.

I decompressed the tarball on a fresh new subdirectory,
configured again, ran make again.
However, I still get the same exact error.

Moreover, the preprocessor macro
HAVE_GCC_AND_X86_64_ASM
continues not to be defined in the
src/include/mpichconf.h file,
and most likely continues to be the source for the error.

By contrast, configure.in is identical to my patched
version (with the pgcc_atomics.patch file).

I will send you the output of configure, config.log
and src/include/mpichconf.h off list.

And here is the "diff" between the configure script from your
latest tarball
and the configure script from the 1.2.8p1 after I patched it with
pgcc_atomics.patch:

[build_pgi-8.0-4]% diff ../configure

Did I do anything wrong?

Thank you for your help.
