[mpich-discuss] Mpich2 1.5a2

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi there!

A few questions about MPICH 1.5a2:

1) Have the manpages disappeared?

2) It seems that the PDF file user.pdf is not installed into 
/usr/share/doc/mpich2 anymore? Same for files in www/. Were they previously 
installed automatically into /usr/share/doc/mpich2 ?

3) If I remember correctly, in previous versions, there were bin/, lib/ and 
include/ which contained all the necessary files to compile and run the 
test-suite prior to "make install", by going to test/mpi, and running 
./configure --with-mpi=../../ and so on.

This doesn't seem to work the same way anymore, since compiled library files now 
seem to be spread out in different hidden .libs/ directories after "make" 
finishes. It now seems necessary to set a lot of environment variables 
(LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CPPFLAGS with different added .libs/ subdirectories) when 
one is about to run the ./configure in test/mpi.

Perhaps the test-suite is now intended to be run after "make install".

Thanks, and best regards
