Hello, I am trying to compile Boost.MPI with Mpich2 under Suse Linux 10.x. After having built Mpich2, involing ./bjam install I am presented with the following error below, however, recompiling mpich2 with -fPIC does not help either. mpich2$ ./configure CXXFLAGS=-fPIC; make; make install Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks a lot!
