+First of all, make sure your environment variables are set correctly
+to compile and execute single process mpi applications for the SP2
+machine.  They should be the same or comparable to the following.

+    setenv CC              mpcc_r
+    setenv MP_PROCS         1
+    setenv MP_NODES         1

+The shared library configuration for this version is broken.
+So, only static library is supported.
+An error for powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 (LLNL Blue) about install method
+is discovered after code freeze.  You need to remove the following
+line from config/powerpc-ibm-aix4.3.2.0 before configuration.
+    ac_cv_path_install=${ac_cv_path_install='cp -r'}
+
+Then do the following steps:
+
+./configure --disable-shared --prefix=<install-directory>
+make		# build the library
+make check	# verify the correctness
+make install
