BLACS installation problem

When trying to install BLACS, I keep getting these "undefined reference
to..." messages. The problem seems to occur first when building
blacstest.o.

I've attached a typical .inc file.

I've also tried some other compilers. I get very similar results. Thanks
in advance.

Hi,
I tryied your Bmake.inc and it works fine for me. BTW you should have:
TRANSCOMM = -DCSameF77
if using mpich (I suggest you to use the small programs in BLACS/INSTALL
to set the variables in Bmake.inc).
Maybe the problem is with your mpich installation.
Which are the undefined references that you have?

Alfredo,

Thanks for answering. It went better with this setting changed. It's
still not finishing the compilation.

Am I missing something else?

I've now tried with two different versons of mpich. I've pasted the
respective results below. I really appreciate your help.

Regards,
