Ah ha! That was exactly the statement I needed -- it made me go look closer as to exactly was throwing the error statement that we were seeing. I made the bad assumption that Autoconf had somehow stopped supporting --program-suffix without checking our own code first. It turns out that we know that OMPI's build process doesn't support --program-suffix and --program-prefix (for reasons that are uninteresting to discuss here), so someone put in some logic a long time ago that detects these options and throws the error. Hence: yes, it's our problem. Not Autoconf's. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, and sorry for the noise. -- Jeff Squyres jsquyres@xxxxxxxxx For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/ _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
