[mpich-discuss] Building the HP-UX MPICH library --Question

[Hirsh, Joel E]

I tried downloading as described below.  Thr file comes across as mpich2-1.2.1.tar.tar.  I renamed it to mpich2-1.2.1.tar.gz

I do have gnu tar version 1.1.2 (I think).  The tar command appeared to do nothing as did the zcat command piped into tar.  I tried the zcat command alone but the screened scrolled too fast for me to read it and then the PC crashed.  I can try it on a UNIX machine and see what happens.

Did you download it from here?
http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/tarballs/1.2.1/mpich2-1.2.1.tar.gz

If you have gnu tar (do a tar --version to find out), untar it like this:
  tar zxf mpich2-1.2.1.tar.gz

If you don't have gnu tar, you'll have to uncompress it first, then untar:
  zcat mpich2-1.2.1.tar.gz | tar xf -

Let us know how that works for you.
