Hi Thanks for getting back to me
I used a 1.3 tarball from Open MPI
Sorry, thought I included Linux details in posting...
->uname -a
Linux heracles 2.6.16.54-0.2.5-smp #1 SMP Mon Jan 21 13:29:51 UTC 2008 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
My first build attempt encountered much the same problem, without
x86_64 configure complains about not being able to determine the system
type. As I say, putting x86_64 as the first argument was a lucky guess
to remove the error message...
configure: Detected VPATH build
checking build system type... ../config/config.guess: line 1102: syntax error
near unexpected token `('
../config/config.guess: line 1102: ` UNAME_REL=`(/bin/uname -X|grep
Release|sed -e 's/.*= //')`'
configure: error: cannot guess build type; you must specify one
...it doesn't like other strings but seems happy with x86_64.
(uname -X is not POSIX and not GNU, works on Solaris but not something
I would recommend in build scripts)
The bit I can't figure is that both errors result in the v.strange...
" syntax error near unexpected token `('"
Hmmmm...
