[mpich-discuss] Problems building mpich-3.2.1 with PGI 18.4 Community Edition

[Jeff Layton]

I fixed this problem and I get the exact same error. Again, I grepped 
config.log and found the following.


$ grep -i error config.log
pgcc-Error-Unknown switch: -qversion
PGC/x86-64 Linux 18.4-0: compilation completed with severe errors
PGC-S-0035-Syntax error: Recovery attempted by replacing identifier 
error by ';' (conftest.c: 14)

configure:5953: error: C preprocessor 
"/opt/pgi/linux86-64/18.4/bin/pgcc" fails sanity check
HAVE_ERROR_CHECKING=''
MPI_MAX_ERROR_STRING=''



I'm not an expert but it looks like configure sends an unknown option to 
pgcc (-qversion). Then there appear to be some problems in mpich when 
built with pgcc.

Any comments or thoughts?

Thanks!

Jeff
