Re: changing compiler from gcc to mpiCC

1) --with-XXXX, ie "--with-mpiCC=yes" (no space)
2) ./configure --help should tell you if that's even an option (if it's 
not, ./configure ignores it)

Did these options come from that package?  Did you get them from some 
information in the package, or did you think they were good 
possibilities?  Be aware that this is the autoconf list, not the support 
list for that package, but maybe this will get you somewhere closer to a 
fix.

so you need to set $CC, right?

Barring setting it in a config.cache, you want either:

   export CC=mpiCC ; ./configure ...

or

   ./configure CC=mpiCC   (? does this work? Should from the fall-thru 
at end of options processing)

...or maybe...

   CC=mpiCC ./configure ...      (first option, no export)

Remember to augment the project you're working with to provide the docs 
that you didn't find there!  :)  Even a paragraph is better than 
nothing, and it's a start!
