[mpich-discuss] problems with mpich2 configure

[Dave Goodell]

It looks like your C++ compiler installation isn't in the best shape  
(see the quoted passage at the bottom of this mail for an example).   
If you don't need C++ support in your mpich2 installation you can  
configure with --disable-cxx. Otherwise I would work on getting your C+ 
+ compiler working on simple programs before attempting to build mpich2.
