Hi Bill, If you *really* have time, then you can go deep into the log, and find out why configure failed. It looks like configure failed when it tried to compile this code:
.text # .gsym_test_func .globl .gsym_test_func .gsym_test_func: # .gsym_test_func configure:26752: result: none configure:26756: error: Could not determine global symbol label prefix May be it's a gcc thing?? Like your assembler is too old?? I tried it in Cygwin, which has gcc 3.4.4, and it seems to work fine (just copy the 5 lines of code above into a file and name it with the ".s" ext name. Then compile it with gcc and see if you can reproduce it. I was involved in a TOP500 project that uses AlphaServer SC ES45 nodes (a total of 4,096 cores), and it was the #2 in TOP500 a decade ago! It was fun back then... But I agree with Jeff, it is unlikely that Open MPI is going to work on Tru64 - all modern processors are much faster than Alpha and I believe even the TOP500 Alpha machines are all powered down (even the Earth Simulator is not on the TOP500 list anymore - that was the #1 back then!!).
