[mpich2-dev] error compiling ROMIO's malloc.c in Fedora 15

[Lisandro Dalcin]

I'm running Fedora 15. After downloading and unpacking mpich2-1.4
tarball, configuring, and then build, I get the error below.

After editing src/mpi/romio/adio/common/malloc.c and commenting out
the block near the beginning including malloc.h, things seems to be
back to normal.

This smells like a bug in my C stdlib header files, right?


$ tar -zxf mpich2-1.4.tar.gz && mpich2-1.4
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/devel/mpi/mpich2-1.4 --enable-shared
CFLAGS=-fPIC FFLAGS=-fPIC --enable-g=all
$ make

... lots of output ...
