Can you specify what didn't work with the solaris threads?

It's good that you left out --with-impi -- there is currently a bug
with it (even in 7.1.2b20) that will prevent it from starting IMPI jobs
at run-time.

Note that you probably don't need --with-trillium. This switch is used
to build a few extra back-end LAM tools and install all the LAM header
files, both of which you don't need if you're just compiling and
running MPI applications.

You'll probably want to flip through both the Installation Guide and
User Guide for 7.1.x to see all the differences from the 6.3 series
(there are a lot). http://www.lam-mpi.org/using/docs/
