Hi Geng

You need to choose the --prefix path to an area where you have
write permission, as suggested by Reuti.

Also, you don't need to use sudo if you install MPICH2
in an area where you have write permissions,
say, under your home directory.
See Jeff Hammond's suggestion about this.

If you are on Linux, make sure you have gcc
in your system, and also g++ and gfortran if you want
MPICH2 built with C++, F77 and F90 bindings.

Download to an area that you have write permission,
and untar it there, say, $HOME/Downloads:

$ cd $HOME/Downloads

$ tar -zxvf  mpich2-1.4.1p1.tar.gz

Configure it with prefix pointing to *another* path,
but also where you have write permissions, say,
$HOME/local/mpich2-1.4.1p1 :

$ cd mpich2-1.4.1p1

$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/local/mpich2-1.4.1p1

[Add --enable-shared to the command line above if you want
shared libraries, as Reuti also suggested.]

$ make

$ make install

Set your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the
MPICH2 that you just built.
This will avoid other versions that may be installed
on your system:

If you use sh/bash:

export PATH=$HOME/local/mpich2-1.4.1p1/bin:${PATH}
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/mpich2-1.4.1p1/lib

If you use csh/tcsh:

setenv PATH $HOME/local/mpich2-1.4.1p1/bin:${PATH}
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $HOME/local/mpich2-1.4.1p1/lib

Don't waste time with out of date versions.
You won't get help for old versions either.
For your own good, just download and install the latest:

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2/downloads/index.php?s=downloads

Also, it is worth to carefully read the documentation, as it answers
many questions that you may have:

I hope this helps,
