[mpich-discuss] make[2]: *** No rule to make target `../../../lib/lib.a', needed by `reorder'. Stop.

[Dave Goodell]

Don't worry about this.  Just don't "make" in "test/", but "test/mpi/" instead.  The "test/mpid/" directory is an unfinished project to test the ADI.  For some reason (perhaps correctly), simplemake isn't creating a substitution line for the MPILIBNAME variable, so one of the rules in the makefile comes out wrong.

You didn't do anything wrong here, and nothing new appears to be broken.
