#For Gigabit Interconnect try this: ./configure --enable-mpi=yes --with-mpi-prefix=/opt/mpich2/intel/14.0/ Remark: To make executables "universal" i.e. to be used both on Intel Xeon and AMD Opterons CPUs (nodes, computers), use the following additional option in configuration procedure: "--enable-optim=safe" So, for Gigabit connection configuration line will look like: ./configure --enable-mpi=yes --enable-optim=safe --with-mpi-prefix=/opt/mpich2/intel/14.0/
