The smpd process manager has been removed for some time, and deprecated for many years before that.  Is there a reason you want to use that instead of the default process manager (hydra) which is significantly better in many ways?

Btw, --enable-static is on by default.  If you want to force the use of static libraries, you need to --disable-shared, since shared libraries are prioritized over static libraries on most systems when linking.

Also, --disable-f77 and --disable-fc are deprecated options.  You can pass --disable-fortran now.

Finally, is there a reason to use --with-device=ch3:sock instead of the default (--with-device=ch3:nemesis)?
