Hi,

I think my problem is probably embarrasingly simple ... but I need some
help ...

I am trying to install MPI on a networked pair of HPs with HPUX 10.01 on
one and 8.07 on the other.  I really just want to learn about MPI and try
some of the example programs.

When I run 'configure' I get the following output:

Configuring with args -device=ch_p4 -arch=hpux -mpe -prefix=/u/mpi
Configureing MPICH Version 1.1.1 (0) of : 1998/07/13 13:29:16

------------------------------------------------
and then I think configure fails without creating a makefile script.

I really dont know what to do and dont understand configure well enough to
sort it out. Is my cc no good ... or do I have to point to it in the
command line options?

If you can offer some advice I would be very grateful.  In case it helps
'find . -name cc' from the root / directory produces:
