[mpich-discuss] unable to build mpich2 with romio

[Dave Goodell]

The AX_PREFIX_CONFIG_H macro isn't being expanded for some reason.   
The macro comes from "src/mpl/confdb/ax_prefix_config_h.m4", and the  
"src/mpl/confdb" directory is a bit special because it is an SVN  
external.  Not only is it an SVN external, but it's a "relative"  
external, which is a feature that was added in SVN 1.5 [1].

Do you have a "src/mpl/confdb" directory?

What version of SVN are you using?  Running "svn --version" should  
tell you.  Please upgrade to 1.5 or later if you wish to use the SVN  
version of MPICH2.
