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

I did not clean up the previous directories for my try for MPICH2-1.1 version, I named the source directory and installation directory MPICH2-1.1 and MPI, respectively. For the most recent try with MPICH2-1.2.1p, I named the source directory and installtion directory MPICH2-1.2.1p and MPI3. 
I thougt there is no need to remove the previous version since they are in different directories. Am I wrong? I will clean all them up and try the new version again.

Your Makefile.in does not match the one in the mpich2-1.2.1p1 release
tarball. Did you clean up your existing directories before installing
the new version?

rm -rf <prefix> mpich2-1.2.1p1

... and start from scratch?
