There should be no assembly language programming, just a small tweak to a C preprocessor directive.  You just need to take the line that currently says:

----8<----
#if defined(HAVE_GCC_AND_PENTIUM_ASM)
----8<----

and change it to say:

----8<----
#if 0
----8<----

instead.  This should be line 12 of "src/mpid/ch3/channels/nemesis/nemesis/include/mpid_nem_memdefs.h".

Then re-running make should work.

This appears to be a Solaris on x86 machine, and the configure script decides that x86 assembly is supported by the assembler by using a small test program. Unfortunately, the assembler does not support a more complicated hunk of inline assembly listed here: > > http://trac.mcs.anl.gov/projects/mpich2/browser/mpich2/tags/release/mpich2-1.4.1p1/src/mpid/ch3/channels/nemesis/nemesis/include/mpid_nem_memdefs.h > > In the short run, you should be able to get unstuck by editing 12 of that file to read "#if 0" instead.
