0.9.3 installation problems on GNU/Linux with lam-mpi

[Drake, Richard R]

FYI .. I did the exact same thing.  I wondered/wonder if the pnetcdf
developers -- being MPICH guys -- are much concerned or if they just don't
have the resources at this time.

Hello,

I tried to install 0.9.3 on a GNU/Linux PC with lam-mpi-7.0.2, and I am
having the following problem:

1) autoconf

2) ./configure --prefix=SOME_PATH --with-mpi=/usr

3) make all

It returns in src/lib

############### etc. etc. where there is the swith(datatype) command.

I looked a little in /usr/include mpi.h of lam, and
I tried to substitute the switches with a series of ifs.

I was able to compile, but I received a series of errors
in make testing.

Before submitting the details, I was wondering if this
is an implementation problem of lam, or there is some
other reason behind this strange behavior.

Is there anybody using lam-mpi and that can give me some pointers?

Best Regards
