In what context is fast configure solving a real problem? Don Knuth would condemn such a thing IMO. Jeff ----- Lisandro Dalcin <[email protected]> wrote:

If you mean, I'll do configure/make/make install once and both mpich and mpe will be built, then probably not. This requires a lot of build system hacking for MPE's configure to test for MPI features before the MPI implementation is actually built. That's nasty; we already do that for the mpich test suite and it's a nightmare to maintain. We don't want to do that for yet another package.

Would it make sense to have a "special" and fast configure step for MPE when it is built as part of MPICH?
