Comment (by anonymous):

 I am trying to compile the development of ET on Loewe now,
 and I am seeing the following MPI error message:

 {{{
 Running configuration script for thorn MPI:
 ERROR: MPI could not be configured: neither automatic nor manual
 configuration succeeded

 CST error 1:
   -> Configuration script for thorn MPI returned exit code 5
      Error message: 'MPI could not be configured: neither automatic nor
 manual configuration succeeded'

 Finished running configuration script for thorn MPI.

 }}}

 It is still cryptic to me since it doesn't tell me why
 it failed. Note that I set 'export VERBOSE=yes' before
 trying to run it and that I do see lots of output for all
 other external library scripts, but that is the only
 output I see from the MPI thorn.

 How do I turn on more verbose output for the MPI thorn?
 Is there a fundamental change on setting MPI_DIR and its
 include and lib dirs? How should I change that in the loewe
 and supermuc machine options?

 Thanks,
 Bruno
