[mpich-discuss] MPICH2 config hangs

Fri Feb 18 09:20:55 CST 2011

Hi Kerry,

I am thankful to you for the prompt reply. 

I feel that I have missed one valuable thing: my system is Windows 7 x64.
(BTW, the same happens for 64-bit XP and  Windows 2008 Server versions as
well).

Sincerely,
Oleg

I did a clean install of cygwin and was able to install mpich2 this time.
The one change that I made was to use gcc version 4.3 instead of 4.5.
Perhaps this made the difference.  Thanks for your help.

Kerry

Hi,
 I just tried compiling MPICH2 1.3.2p1 with the same configuration
parameters on Cygwin (1.7.7(0.230/5/3)) and it did not hang for me. Can you
compile any previous versions of MPICH2, say 1.3.1
(http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/tarballs/)?

Regards,
Jayesh

It is still hanging.  I also tried updating cygwin to add fortran so I could
simplify the configure options.  Any other suggestions?

I don't exactly know what went wrong.  AC_HEADER_STDC should trigger a test
to look for EGREP in mpich2's main configure.  But your c.txt indicates that
the various *GREP tests are not carried out before AC_HEADER_STDC in main
configure.

For now, can you configure as follows:

configure --disable-f77 --disable-fc --enable-timer-type=gettimeofday
ac_cv_path_EGREP="/usr/bin/grep -E" --prefix=....

Let us know if that works.
