Yes, my Intel compiler is on NFS. I think this may be the reason. Thanks for your reply.

The Intel compilers could also be a source of slowdown. Are they installed on a network filesystem? They may also call out to a network license server each time they are invoked for a compile test. Does just compiling a small program take a long time with icc, ifort, etc.?

It is still running, so definitely more than a few minutes. Any other
thing that I did wrong?

    On a decent system, I'd expect it to finish in a few minutes at most.

    Thanks for your reply, Antonio! Yes, I was using NFS before, am
    trying on local disk now. BTW, what will a normal time be?

        Hi YW,

        Although 8h looks like a very long time to me, it's likely due
        to a network filesystem. If that's the case, configuring MPICH
        in a local filesystem (e.g. /temp, /tmp, /scratch) should go
        back to normal times.

        Hi Guys,

        I would like to try out the feature of talking to Intel-MIC
        in MPICH2. Therefore I downloaded mpich-3.1 and configured it as

            "./configure --host=x86_64-k1om-linux CC=icc CXX=icpc
            F77=ifort FC=ifort CFLAGS=-mmic CXXFLAGS=-mmic
            FFLAGS=-mmic FCFLAGS=-mmic LDFLAGS=-mmic"


        However, it took a very long time (i.e. 8 hours) for me to
        finish the configuration. Is it normal? Notice that my system
        doesn't have Infiniband but 10GigE connection. However, I
        don't think this would affect the configuration time.

        Thanks,
        YW
