#1 Bugs in install-routine
Dear tpo++ admins,
I have been experimenting with tpo++ and am considering integrating it into my code (a lattice Boltzmann implementation) which I am in the process of converting for parallel execution. I thought you might like to know of some issues I faced when compiling and installing tpo++.
1) On my linux machine (Fedora 4) I had to add LDFLAGS="-lpthread" to get configure to run successfully. If I omit this, it fails when checking for mpi, since linking of the automatically generated conftest programme against mpi fails without this flag. I did not encounter this problem when configuring tpo++ on the cluster I use (which uses Suse).
2) It is not possible to "make install" into a specified prefix directory, which is a little annoying. I would like to be able to keep the distribution separate from the built libraries and the headers required when linking against tpo++. At the moment, I am having to move the libraries and headers by hand, or put up with having them in the distribution directories. It would be great if I could use "./configure --prefix=/my/usual/library/location" and then use "make install" to put everything relevant there.
3) Compiling with --enable-debug failed due to a problem with scope resolution of some std library variables. I added "using namespace std;" to line 12 of request.H and the problem went away (though this was a fairly brute force solution!!).
Good luck with tpo++ - I think it is a very useful tool!

On my kubuntu (feisty fawn) machine the configure-script only works when i set the MPICHHOME environment variable mentioned in the user guide (chapter "installation").
The "--with-mpich=<path to mpich>" switch has no effect.
