[mpich-discuss] Compilation error of mpich-3.0.4 with Lustre 2.4.0

[Huiwei Lu]

Hi, Jerome and Yan,

Thanks for reporting the bug. I have piled a ticket #1973 to track this bug in http://trac.mpich.org/projects/mpich/ticket/1973. We will let you know when we fixed it.

I think the line of "#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600” is used for compilation portability on Mac. But I don’t know why it causes an error in quota.h.
