When compiling HDF5 1.8.11. I was able to use a generic x86_64 server that has the Cray Software stack installed (including Cray's version of MPI) to compile HDF5 without problems. When configuring HDF5 1.8.12 it tries to execute a test that was linked with mpich (which only installed for cross-compiling purposes) that isn't functional at run-time. I was able to get it to compile by adding the configure option "--host=cray" but the configure summery reports: Host system: j90-cray-unicos It then compiles (and make check passes when running on machines that do support MPI runtime). The Cray J90 is almost 20 years old. Are they any negative ramifications to setting this host that I may not be noticing ? Thanks.
