[mpich-discuss] Configuration issues for mpich2-1.5b2

[Dave Goodell]

Does the issue occur with the latest release of stock MPICH (3.0.1)?  1.5b2 was a beta release and there have been many fixes since then.

When I try configuring mpich2 or mvapich2 hwloc isnt configured properly and configure ends up detecting the sizes incorrectly which results in a build failure when compiling. I reported this issue with mvapich2 mailing list[1].
