Problem installing MPICH

[Steven Berukoff]

I encountered the same problem when compiling with a buggy gcc-2.96 under
RH 7.0.  There are two things to check:  

1) Go to the MPICH web page and look for their patches page.  There is a
patch available (patch 5597) which should fix your problem.

2) Otherwise, upgrade your gcc installation to build 87 or later.
