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

[Jeff Layton]

Hello,
I'm trying to build mpich-3.2.1 with the PGI 18.4 Community Edition compilers. However, I get an error when running configure. The configure line is,
./configure --prefix=/home/laytonjb/bin/pgi-18.4-mpich-3.2.1
The error I get is,
[laytonjb at laytonjb-Lenovo-G50-45 mpich-3.2.1]$ ./conf.jeff

See `config.log' for more details

I've briefly looked through the config.log and this is all that stands out:

$ grep -i error config.log
pgcc-Error-Unknown switch: -qversion

I'm not sure how to fix this error. I've attached the config.log file in case this helps.
Thanks for any and all help.
Jeff
