Hi Alberto !

I think you have a nameservie-problem. Mybe try to
set up /etc/hosts, /etc/host.conf etc. with a real
IP-Address for your machine ... if you're bored with
mpirun - have a look into mpid/ch_p4/p4-1.4/p4_sock_util.c

Get the passage with gethostbyname() into a normal,
small c-file, compile it and retry to configure
your machine until this test is okay (don't forget
to have a look into the man-page, it's h_errno and h_error).

Bye

Gunther
