I don't have any specific suggestions, but two general ones. First, make sure
that you can compile and run the test mpi applications that come with your
mpich distribution. Make sure that you have compiled MPICH2 with the same
compiler that you are using for Amber (i.e. with g95).

Second, edit config.h (in $AMBERHOME/src) and substitute mpif90 (or whatever
the executable wrapper is) for "g95". This may help find the correct
libraries to link in.

...good luck...dac
