[mpich-discuss] mpich2-1.3.2-install

[Nicolas Rosner]

Just guessing, but perhaps worth a shot while you wait for a more
experienced answer:

Your config log shows a bunch of failed chmod attempts (`Operation not
permitted'). Try to ensure a correct ./configure before attempting to
run make. Rather than start by tweaking permissions, I'd retry from
scratch somewhere else.

Since MPICH2 can be configured and built in user space, you don't need
root for such a preliminary test: Just log on as a regular user,
create a fresh subdir in your $HOME (or wherever you have unrestricted
rights, enough space, and ideally a local, non-networked filesystem),
unpack a fresh copy of the tarball there (as that user), cd into it
and ./configure. If the permissions-related problems disappear (and
they should), then run make. Any better?
