[mpich-discuss] installing mpich-1.2.6 to create libmpich.so.1.0

[Wesley Bland]

Alternatively, if you have access to a package manager on your machine, you can just do something like apt-get install mpich2. The version available from most package managers is a little old, but it does simplify the installation process.

If you do need to build from source, make sure you read through the README file in the top level directory of MPICH. It has lots of instructions for installation and will show you the best way to report issues to this mailing list so we can help you most efficiently.

Let us know if you're still having trouble after you try those things.

I have found from searching online that mpich-1.2.6 produces libmpich.so.1.0 which I require run a certain program in parallel. I am unable to follow the installation documentation I have found online for this version because when i configure for ch_p4mpd I get an error when I run make. Therefore I just run ./configure and make but this does not produce my required libmpich.so.1.0. What do I need to specify prior to either configure or make in order to build this? I am building on a linux86-64 with pgi/10.2 compiler.
