The gunzip utility is needed to uncompress the Unix versions.
This is available from the GNU Gzip page.
For those with poor network connections, the gzipped tar file is available in
several pieces in
pub/mpi/mpisplit.
This directory contains compressed files for a split version of the
mpich.tar file.
This is a source-distribution; to build the MPI libraries you will need to execute at least
configure makeSee the installation and users manual for more information. We recommend setting at least a prefix (with
configure --prefix=path).
Other Versions
Many groups have used MPICH as the basis for their MPI implementation.
Having trouble with ftp?
Some ftp clients and firewalls have a limit on the length of the "welcome"
message that they can handle (1024 characters is common). If you are having
trouble, check to see if there is such a limit, and if so, have it raised to
2048. Unfortunately, our government-mandated "welcome" exceeds 1024
characters.
