[mpich-discuss] Problems with running make

[Ron Palmer]

Rajeev,
I have shut down iptables on master computer (sargeant) as it stopped it 
working. By the way, what is an appropriate iptables command to allow 
mpi traffic through iptables?

I will compile the cpi example and report back.

Cheers,
Ron

That did not work. I then tried with only ./configure --prefix=/my/bin/folder. That worked so I also did make and make install.

I have captured the output from such failed attempt to run that software on all available nodes on all available computers in the cluster, see below. I have attached c2.txt and m2.txt (and the output of the failed run) in the attached gzipped file (the failed run in run2.txt and in the image below may not be from the same failed run...).
