Hi Amos,

It looks like you do not have permission to make the directory /usr/ local/etc. Either you need to run the make all install as root, so you have permission to that directory, or you need to use the -- prefix=<path> option to configure so that the installation gets installed into a path where you have permission.

Hello Forum,
          Attached is a file of my installation and trying examples
for openmpi-1.2.9 which were not successful. Hopefully the problem is
a simple one and obvious to a more experienced user.

    I am trying to install and test openmpi-1.2.9. I found that I
could not use the Intel 11.0/.081 C++
and Fortran compilers although I think the problem is with these
compilers not openmpi.  The openmpi-
1.2.9 did compile successfully with the internal compilers of SuSE
10.2.  However, at the end of the
"make all install" command output I noted that some of the make
commands did not run  properly as
shown below.
    I tried to run some of the simple examples and was not successful.
 For hello_c.c I received the
message "mpicc not found".  Is there a simple workaround?

    Any help would be appreciated.
