[mpich-discuss] A error when configuring the mpich2 1.4.1

[Bao Kai]

Dear All,

I have compiled the MPICH2 for several times before, while I get a error
when I tried to compied the mpich2 1.4.1.

I just enter the following command to configure the mpich2

./configure --prefix=/home/baok/local_research 2>&1 | tee c.txt

I got the following message, which I have never met before.

  error: unable to determine matching C type for C++ bool

The the version of GNU compiler I am using is 4.6.0. The size of the bool is
C++ is 1, and the size of unsigned char is 1 too. I do not know why I still
get this error message.

I am very familiar with the shell language, so I can not figure out what is
going wrong.

Attached please find the c.txt file.

I am wondering if anyone can help me in this case.

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Kai
