[mpich-discuss] Problems install MPICH2 on Solaris 10 i386_64

[Dave Goodell]

So your assembler seems to not tolerate "/" for literal expressions, but doesn't understand "--divide".  Would you also please send me the output of:

  /usr/sfw/bin/gas --version
  /usr/sfw/bin/gas --help

According to http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4572 the "/" problem was introduced somewhere between binutils-2.13 to 2.15 versions, but it's not obvious to me when the "--divide" option was added.  Your version may fall into a gap between the two.

It looks like you have a non-functional compiler tool chain on your Solaris box.  You should consider installing an updated one.
