[mpich2-dev] MPICH2 Pre-compiled Library Distribution

[Susheel Varma]

Thanks Rajeev,

Thats exactly what I wanted to know. Is there a pre-compiled version
of mpich for linux, mac I could distribute. I was thinking of
mpich-shmem which could I could use to compile my applications but run
on any mpich version(globus, shmem and mpd), else could I include the
mpich-shmem bin directory to allow users to run mpich-shmem complied
applications.

Regards
Susheel
