I'm not an expert but it looks like configure sends an unknown
option to pgcc (-qversion). Then there appear to be some problems
in mpich when built with pgcc.<br>
<br>
Any comments or thoughts?<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>

Hello,
<br>
<br>
I'm trying to build mpich-3.2.1 with the PGI 18.4 Community
Edition compilers. However, I get an error when running
configure. The configure line is,
<br>
<br>
./configure --prefix=/home/laytonjb/bin/<wbr>pgi-18.4-mpich-3.2.1
<br>
<br>
The error I get is,
<br>
<br>
[laytonjb@laytonjb-Lenovo-G50-<wbr>45 mpich-3.2.1]$ ./conf.jeff
<br>
Configuring MPICH version 3.2.1 with

pgg++ seems to be typo, duno whether this is related.

I've briefly looked through the config.log and this is all

I'm not sure how to fix this error. I've attached the
config.log file in case this helps.

Thanks for any and all help.
