I get this error:
file could not be opened successfully
Downloaded package mpich from:
http://www.mpich.org/files/tarballs/1.5/mpich2-1.5.tar.gz is not a tarball.
[or installed python cannot process compressed files]
* If you are behind a firewall - please fix your proxy and rerun ./configure
For example at LANL you may need to set the environmental variable http_proxy
(or HTTP_PROXY?) to http://proxyout.lanl.gov
* Alternatively, you can download the above URL manually, to
/yourselectedlocation/mpich2-1.5.tar.gz
and use the configure option:
--download-mpich=/yourselectedlocation/mpich2-1.5.tar.gz
