Hi,
A couple of points I found recently that you might like to warn about in the
text of FAQ #10.
If you add a '/' at the end of the directory that is the value of the "--prefix"
on the "configure" command e.g.
./configure --prefix /my_dir/
make
make install
it is ignored and when you do the "make install" it tries to save the files
under the default "/usr/local" directory.
If you then try again without the '/' e.g.
./configure --prefix /my_dir
make
make install
the "make install" installs the files in the correct directory, but "mpicc"
complains that files it needs are not in "/usr/local", as well as failing to
load routines such as "MPI_Init" and a "laminfo" outputs the information:
Prefix: /usr/local
(presumably these commands were not re-made by the "make" command).
The only way out of this situation I have found is to completely remove the
"lam-7.0.3" directory, reload it from the "tar" file and start again.
Regards
Neil
