Yes, this is what I'm doing now (BTW: section 2.1.2 in the manual does not list
ibmsp as a platform requiring manual configuration; from p. 2.1 I assumed IBM
SPs are "fully supported"). And it is a fairly painful procedure! I'm still
wondering if there is a way to make the configuration script work.
One of the things I've tried before (with big help from Davide Ceresoli) was
to do "./configure --disable-parallel" (which does not get shot down), let
it find all the libs etc, then change the compiles to parallel ones by hand
and then compile. This method does produce a binary without causing the
configuring script to go berserk. Unfortunately, it seems that we've still
missed something. When I try to run this binary I do not see a regular message

i.e., it looks like I'm running eight serial processes that all want to
write to the same batch of output files and the whole thing (quite
predictably) blows up after a few iterations.
