hello , you give the the answer that detect whether MPICH has been installed or not in the computer the last time, thanks very much! But now I still have a confusion about the question, because MPICH have a feature that platform independent, So can you give me a method that I can detect in both windows and linux . thank you !

Try 

$mpicc -v 

to see if it is on your PATH

OR

$cd /

$find ./ -name mpicc

to find whether mpicc is installed on your machine.

By the way, you should post your question to discuss@mpich.org, which is the mailing list to discuss mpich
