Charm++ parallel programming system

[Matthias Diener <mdiener AT illinois.edu>]

Hello,

Could you please post the full Charm++ build output? It is possible
that there is another error earlier in the compilation.

Also, we have seen some recent issues with OpenMPI 4.0.5 and UCX (in
particular, --enable-install-libpmix might not work anymore). Could
you please try to use OpenMPI 4.0.4?

Best,
Matthias
