Well, I got thru this one on my quest to install MPI on Linux.   
Apperantly, some kind if exeption is generated and gets traped by the 
configure script which deletes the needed .c files so then gcc can't find 
them.   My solution was simply to comment out the two "trap 
..blah-blah.." lines in the configure script.  After I've done that 
everything configured and compiled fine.  The problem is that now the cpi 
example won't run, saying "permission denied".  If you get farther than 
I, I would like to hear how you did it.  

Cheers,
Alyosha
