[YAKUN ZHU]

To Whom It May Concern,

I am a student a the Metallurgical Engineering Department, University of Utah. My name is Yakun. I am trying to install MPICH2 to my Opensuse Linux system. There is a problem when the installation proceeded to Step 5. The following is script:

If 'prefix' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf prefix
yakun at free-lab-06:~> -prefix
If '-prefix' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf -prefix
yakun at free-lab-06:~> cnf prefix
prefix: command not found

-prefix: command not found                        
yakun at free-lab-06:~> --enable-g=dbg,mem,log
If '--enable-g=dbg,mem,log' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf --enable-g=dbg,mem,log
yakun at free-lab-06:~> cnf --enable-g=dbg,mem,log

The reason why I am trying to install MPICH2 is before installing Lammps MPICH2 may need to be installed. I spent lots of time on the installation of Lammps but still failed. Can you please give me some hints on how to install Lammps eaisily?   

Sincerely,

Yakun Zhu
