Configure fails on Mac OS 11.3 (Big Sur)
Downloaded ior 3.3.0, tried ./configure, which failed:

See config.log' for more details
Tried ./configure --without-mpiio -- that switch was accepted but the terminal output is identical, same failure to configure.
Error message is quite clear. You need either Open MPI or MPICH installed to build.
Ok, but isn't the intent of --without-mpiio to say "I don't want to use Open MPI"?
Good guess but this can be easily misread. It is about MPI IO not about MPI itself. No worries. Is your goal to really build without MPI ?

My goal was simply to do a basic build to explore the tool for the first time. I don't know MPI. Will read the documentation more carefully. Thanks!
Hm. The documentation says to run configure as usual, no mention of any dependencies. What are they (and if not obvious, where can these be found)?
