[mvapich-discuss] New vapi-multirail user experiences

[Abhinav Vishnu]

Dr Panda,

I think the "make install" for vapi_multirail may have got broken
after 0.9.5 +, since we did not focus on it much. We did not put the
mpirun patch for vapi_multirail.

Should I just reply to this mail thanking for letting us know about
these problems, and we will fix this in the upcoming release. Please let
me know.

Thanks,

-- Abhinav
