Just look at the output in your "results" file. It should show that
configure completed normally and is ready to run "make". The point of
my original mail is that you should not feel that configure failed if
something came out on stderr.

gm is [one of] the communications library[ies] for Myrinet networks.
Since you presumably do not have Myrinet hardware nor the gm libraries,
the gm component in LAM decided that it would not allow itself to be
configured/compiled/installed.

You can only interpret these in the context of the overall configure
script. Those "cannot continue" messages normally appear somewhere in
the middle of the output, showing that one particular portion will not
continue (e.g., gm). So if you had not separated the stdout and
stderr, you would have seen those messages in context and they would
have made sense. :-)
