[mpich-discuss] unknown type name for mpich-master-v3.1.1-71-gc244ba49

[Siegmar Gross]

Hi,

today I tried to install mpich-master-v3.1.1-71-gc244ba49 on my
Linux machine (openSUSE 12.1 x86_64). "make" fails with the
following error for gcc-4.9.0.

...
  CC       src/mpi/attr/lib_libmpi_la-attr_delete.lo
In file included from ../mpich-master-v3.1.1-71-gc244ba49/src/mpi/attr/attr_delete.c:8:0:

            ^

I used the following configure-command.

../mpich-master-v3.1.1-71-gc244ba49/configure \
  --prefix=/usr/local/mpich-3.1.2_64_gcc \
  --libdir=/usr/local/mpich-3.1.2_64_gcc/lib64 \
  --includedir=/usr/local/mpich-3.1.2_64_gcc/include64 \
  CC="gcc" CXX="g++" F77="gfortran" FC="gfortran" \
  CFLAGS="-m64 -std=c11" CXXFLAGS="-m64" FFLAGS="-m64" FCFLAGS="-m64" \
  LDFLAGS="-m64" \
  --enable-f77 --enable-fc --enable-cxx --enable-romio \
  --enable-debuginfo --enable-smpcoll \
  --enable-threads=runtime --with-thread-package=posix \
  --enable-shared \
  |& tee log.configure.$SYSTEM_ENV.$MACHINE_ENV.64_gcc

The log-file contains no errors, but some warnings.

I would be grateful if somebody could fix the problem. Thank you
very much for your help in advance.


Kind regards
