[Pvfs2-users] [Fwd: [MPICH2 Req #3034] mpich2 + pvfs2 Configure Error : C compiler cannot create executables]

[Bradley W Settlemyer]

Well then, can I publicly ask: what is the news on pvfs2/romio/mpich2 
integration?  Is there a plan to have all that (Avery's changes, etc.) 
integrated in for a release any time soon?  Is there a schedule, or is 
the timeframe still indefinite?  I'm not in need of a hard and fast date 
obviously, I was just interested on what the plan is (assuming the plan 
is public).

Cheers,
Brad
