Dear MPICH2.

I want to build MPICH2 package.

I have downloaded mpich2-1.5.tar.gz from

http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpich2staging/goodell/downloads/index.php?s=downloads

My computer OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)

I created folder:

/tmp/MPICH2/src

there I executed: tar xfz mpich2-1.5.tar.gz

and got new folder (/tmp/MPICH2/src/mpich2-1.5) with mpich2 files and sub-folders.

Now I created folder: /tmp/MPICH2/build

from directory /tmp/MPICH2/build, I executed:

../src/mpich2-1.5/configure --prefix=/tmp/MPICH2/install --enable-error-checking=runtime --enable-g=dbg CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC FFLAGS=-fpic --enable-threads=runtime --enable-totalview --enable-static --disable-f77 --disable-fc --no-create --no-recursion | & tee c.txt

Then I tried to execute (still from folder: /tmp/MPICH2/build): make  

but got an error: 

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

Then I tried to execute "ls" (still from folder: /tmp/MPICH2/build) and got following ouput:

config.log  config.lt  config.status  config.system  c.txt  lib  libtool  src

Then I tried to execute "ls" (from folder: /tmp/MPICH2/src/mpich2-1.5) and got following ouput:

Can you please advice:

- What I did wrong? (Why I can't perform make, according to manual).

- Is my configure options are correct to build MPICH2 w/o any .so files?

c.txt attached to mail.
