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.

Thanks for your report. We found out about this issue as well, and I
have committed a fix to it on the 1.4 branch. You can see the patch
here.

http://mail.cse.ohio-state.edu/pipermail/mvapich-commit/2010-April/001263.html

This fix should get included in our nightly tarballs. I think the
tarball for 04-30 should carry this fix. If you download the tarball,
you do not need to have the magic mix of autoconf etc.

Thanks.
