Yikes, the version of MPICH in there is *really* old. The latest is 1.2.1.
BTW, if you haven't guessed already, I'm a fan of MPI for writing parallel
processing applications. I does require rewriting non-parallelized code,
but MPI is a fairly easy to work with and, when applied correctly, can
result in pretty reasonable scaling.
