[mpich-discuss] Problem installing MPICH

Tue Aug 5 17:45:22 CDT 2014

Usually the issue in such cases is that the user built MPICH on an NFS or some other weird filesystem, which screwed up the time stamps and now “make” seems to think that it needs to rerun autoreconf.

Sahar, you can pass --disable-maintainer-mode to configure to ask it to not try to be extra smart.

For Mac’s the recommended way of doing this is to use Homebrew. You can find more information on the Downloads page. For most installations (unless you’re using some non-default features), this is sufficient.
