The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

I am running CentOS on a vx50 system.  The vx50 has 8 x 4-core AMD Opteron
(Shanghai) processors in a single box.  I recently downloaded abinit-5.8.4 and
tried to install it.  When I run the configure script:

./configure --enable-mpi="yes"

Configure stops with the following error:

   checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot
   run C compiled programs.
   If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
   See `config.log' for more details.

Does anyone know what this error means, or how I might go about correcting it?

Openmpi-1.2.7, gcc, gcc-c++ and gcc-gfortran are installed.

best regards
