question about MPICH2 installation on SUN

[goodell]

Filing for tracking.  This is a reminder that mpich2 should generally
still build on platforms that lack pthreads.

A part of this was an error in Hydra, which was fixed for 1.1. Is there anything else that's pending for this ticket?

[balaji]

Is there somewhere we can test this? As far as I can tell, this has been fixed.

[goodell]

I don't think that we have anywhere to test this. The only reason that we might not want to close it at this point is that I thought the place where pthread.h was coming was from the process locks, not hydra. If I was mistaken, go ahead and close this.

-Dave

[balaji]

No, you are right. I went back and looked at the email chain on mpich-discuss. It is from the process locks.

[thakur]

We will delete the process locks when we delete shm and ssm.
