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

[Reuti]

In the configure statement you posted in your original post you set CPP (see below in this post) which results in exactly this error when set to the plain C compiler. Please double check that it’s no longer there.

>> error: C preprocessor "/opt/pgi/linux86-64/18.4/bin/pgcc" fails sanity check
