[Boost-users] Boost.MPI Problems

Hello,

Here are the problems that I've had trying to get Boost.MPI and MPICH2
to work together (I've had these problems with both boost_1_35_0 and
the CVS Boost versions)

rbriggs_at_localhost ~/Desktop/boost_1_35_0 $
./tools/jam/src/bin.linuxx86_64/bjam --with-mpi
--user-config=user-config.jam
error: Unable to find file or target named
error:     '/boost/python//boost_python'
error: referred from project at
error:     'libs/mpi/build'

rbriggs_at_localhost ~/Desktop/boost_1_35_0 $

I took out the python library build (since I don't need the python
libs) but still had problems after that.

gcc.link.dll bin.v2/libs/mpi/build/gcc-4.1.2/release/threading-multi/libboost_mpi-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
/opt/mpich/lib/libmpich.a(attr_get.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
/opt/mpich/lib/libmpich.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I'm unsure of where to fix this at, where should I add this?

Thanks,
Ransom
