configure: WARNING: The C++ compiler g++ cannot compile a program containing the <string> header - this may indicate a problem with the C++ installation.  Consider configuing with --disable-cxx
configure: WARNING: Structures containing long doubles may be aligned differently from structures with floats or longs.  MPICH does not handle this case automatically and you should avoid assumed extents for structures containing float types.
configure: error: unable to determine matching C type for C++ bool
