[mpich-discuss] mpich2-1.2.1p1 - cannot create regular file `/index.htm': Permission denied

Thu Mar 11 11:44:34 CST 2010

Hello

No, I have not modified anything at all, this is directly downloaded from
the website.
I have earlier installed mpich2 in other systems, but never faced this
problem, I am not able to understand whats going wrong? What should I do?

Thanks
Preeti
