[mpich-discuss] mpich-1.4.1p1

[Gus Correa]

Hi Anthony, Carolina

Anthony:

How about non-ascii characters? e.g. Á (A with an accent)
Are they OK in Linux directory and file names?
Do they require some specific locale setting, UTF-8 character set,
or other?
Does autoconf digest them right?

Carolina:

I'd stay on the safe side and stick to very conventional
file and directory names made only of:
1)  upper and lower case letters [a to z, and A to Z, without any 
accents, be careful with your Brazilian ABNT/ABNT-2 keyboard!],
2) digits [0 to 9],
3) underscore (_) [e.g. my_file], and
4) period (.) [e.g. my_program.f90]
And use the slash (/) *only* for directory name separator.
No blanks of course [which is a Windows thing].

My two cents,
Gus Correa
