[mpich-discuss] make install issue

I have attached the mi.txt file you requested. I did the re-configure, make, then make install all over again but still get this error message.

I don't think you copied enough output for us to tell what happened.

Please run "make install 2>&1 | tee mi.txt" and send us the generated
