[mpich-discuss] Error building mpich-3.1.2 on Solaris 10 with gcc-4.9.0

Sat Sep 6 08:51:43 CDT 2014

Thanks, Siegmar.  Are you seeing some errors with “make testing” or are all tests failing?  On some platforms, some tests take longer and hence show up as “timeouts”, but they are not really hanging.  But the number of such tests should be small.

We’ll look into the C++ issues.  We are trying to get a machine setup locally to test this configuration out.

Regards,
