[mvapich-discuss] Error while compiling mpi4py with MVAPICH

[senthil.natesan at ndsu.edu]

Dear MVAPICH developers,

I am trying to compile mpi4py to run an python application (MMPBSA.py from
AMBER molecular dynamics package). I have successfully compiled it on
MPICH2 and now I am trying to compile with MVAPICH, but it shows the
following error. I have MVAPICH2-1.5 installed here and it works well for
other applications.

Here I am showing the end of the output (showing error)
