hi,
i tried to install MPICH latest version on my Linux slakware 
distribution Linux 1.2.3. MPICH Configure complained that cc has
problems in compiling even simple C programs. after hacking
a lot, i realized that the problem is that the simple c program
which is being tested with an include file  could not locate
the include file.


ultimately, i commented one line from Configure file that 
ran something like

trap 'rm -fr that.include.file.name.h ' 0

then the programs compiled for about half hour. for now
i see that some programs are running.

was it a bug in Configure file or problem with signal catching
mechanism with Bash (the shell to which sh is a symbolic link)
or the worst my programs only pretended to have comiled and might
not run properly. (i think this last possibility might be less 
probable).
