install MPI-- "configure: error: Namespaces are required for the MPI C++ interface"

[jaycui]

Hello:

I want to run mpi program

I download the mpich2-1.0.4p1.tar.gz. and get an error after: ./configure --prefix=/urs/local/mpich2
"checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether we are using the GNU C++ compiler... no
checking whether gcc accepts -g... no
checking whether the compiler supports exceptions... no
checking whether the compiler recognizes bool as a built-in type... no
checking whether the compiler implements namespaces... no
configure: error: Namespaces are required for the MPI C++ interface"

Has anyone also got such problem? What should I do to solve it?:confused:
Thanks!
