[mpich-discuss] Run mpich on localhost

[Martin Ivanov]

Hello,
Thank you for your replies. I think another version of MPICH may not work
as I am following a tutorial (
https://www2.mmm.ucar.edu/wrf/OnLineTutorial/compilation_tutorial.php) that
requires specific library versions.
My /etc/hosts file contains only these two lines:

"
::1 localhost localhost.my.domain
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.my.domain
"

uname -n returns an empty string as I have not set a hostname. I guess I do
not need this because I need to run MPICH only on this machine, that is on
localhost? uname -a gives the following output:

"
marto@% uname -a
DragonFly  5.8-RELEASE DragonFly v5.8.1-RELEASE #1: Thu May  7 08:26:21
CEST 2020     root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/X86_64_GENERIC  x86_64
"

Apart from providing a --prefix, I configured MPICH with the default
options. During the configure step I got some interesting messages though:

"

...

I am looking forward to your replies.

Best regards,
Martin
