[mpich-discuss] installation problem on AIX

I used "mpicc cpi.c -o cpi.exe" to compile and then run the code with
"mpiexec -f hostfile -n 4 cpi.exe", it's still the same problem. It hangs
there.

I'm wondering if you had chance to look at my c.txt and m.txt. Is it
possible that my compilation is actually not completely successful? Thanks!
