Dear LAM/MPI developers,

I know that LAM/MPI is somehow superseded by OpenMPI. Nevertheless, I
tried to build the latest release from the download section
(lam-7.1.4.tar.bz2) with current GCC 4.3.1. Unfortunately, configure
failed (no bool type for g++). A bit of investigation showed that
several main statements (8 if I didn't miscount) in the configure test
programs are defective. It should be

"main(int argc, char *argv[])" or "main(int argc, char **argv)"
   and not
"int main(int argc, char* argv)" or "main(int argc, char *argv)"
   (i.e. double star vs. single star)

Several other tests, e.g. for templates, are just skipped and don't
break the whole configure procedure. Still, I'm wondering why nobody
else observed this problem ...

Best regards,
    Christian
