HOW TO INSTALL MPI/GAMMA

1)
Install GAMMA in your cluster and test its functionality (for instance,
run the "ping_pong" and the "barrier" microbenchmarks included in the
GAMMA distribution).

2)
Get the latest distribution of MPI/GAMMA from directory
http://www.disi.unige.it/project/gamma/
in the form of a gzipped tar file named mpigamma-YY-MM-DD.tar.gz .

3)
Get MPICH 1.2.7 subversion "p1" and install its source tree somewhere in your
file system.
You can get MPICH 1.2.7p1 at the following URL:
http://www.disi.unige.it/project/gamma/mpigamma/mpich-1.2.7.tar.gz

4)
Untar MPICH 1.2.7p1.  This should create a directory mpich/ containing all
the MPICH source tree.  If the created directory has a different name, rename
it to "mpich"

5)
Let's suppose the MPICH source tree is at /home/you/mpich .
Put mpigamma-YY-MM-DD.tar.gz at /home/you, then run
tar xvzf mpigamma-YY-MM-DD.tar.gz .  This will replace some of the MPICH
files, and will also add new files (see next).

6)
Read the file /home/you/mpich/README.GAMMA and follow its directions.
