It seems the compilation was stuck at hwloc. Try export these two env variables and compile again.

HWLOC_LIBXML2_CFLAGS = -I<path to your xml2 headers, such as /usr/include/libxml2>

HWLOC_LIBXML2_LIBS = -L<path to your xml2 library> -lxml2

If it does not work, could you paste your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling MPICH-3.0.4.

I'm using GNU 4.7.2 compilers.

My configure =

./configure --prefix=/export/home/mnaidoo/software/mpich/mpich3_GNU --with-gnu-ld 2>&1 | tee c.txt

Configure is successful with no errors.

The make fails with

"libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libxml2.la' is not a valid libtool archive"

This occurs when trying:

"CCLD libhwloc_embedded.la"

So there's a libxml2.la in /usr/lib64, but there's also one in another directory.

I add this directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and I still get the same error.

How do I tell make to use the libxml2.la in the other directory?

regards,

Mogesh.
