[mpich-discuss] try to install MPICH2 on SGI under local account

[Mei, Rui]

Hi, Pavan, 

Here are attached configure log file, make log file and Makefile. And the files required for running MPI are not installed, e.g., 
in the /u/home/rum06003/mpi/bin directory, there are only three files: mpiexec.gforker  mpiexec.hydra  pmi_proxy.

Thank you very much.
Rui

It looks like some of the variables in your makefile are not set. Can
you send us the top-level config.log and Makefile?

Btw, only the documentation didn't get installed. The files required for
running MPI applications should already be installed before this error,
I think.
