[mvapich-discuss] fail to link with mvapich2-1.2p1/mvapich2-1.4rc2

[Manhui Wang]

Dear MVAPICH2 developers,
      I tried to build Molpro (see http://www.molpro.net/) with MVAPICH2
1.2p1 (as well as mvapich2-1.4rc2) library, but failed. The reason is
that both Molpro and Mvapich use some general function names.  The
source code of mvapich library (tokens.c parser.c) contains
some yacc-like parsing code. These three
functions(yylex yyparse  yyerror) happen to have the same names as those
in parse files of Molpro. I renamed these three function to those with a
prefix mvapich_* in MVAPICH source code, and recompiled the mvapich2
library. Now it works fine.  Could you please slightly change these
names to avoid potential conflict with other application program in next
release version? Surely, Molpro could also choose other specific
function names to avoid such problems.

The following is the error message:
