[mvapich-discuss] Share library error trying to build MVAPICH2 1.4.1 from tarball

[David Gunter]

I am trying to build the latest MVAPICH2 1.4.1 from your tarball. However, I am hitting this bug which Adam Moody reported back on 23 March.  Has a solution been found for this yet? I would prefer something that doesn't involve checking out source from your SVN repository as I have yet to be able to get the right mix of autoconf, etc. to create a correct configure script.
