[Scalapack] Problems compiling BLACS

[Hausman, Leigh A.]

I'm attempting to compile BLACS and I'm getting the following error message:

mpiCC -c -O3 -g -I/common/mpich-1.2.7//include -DSYSINC
-I/common/mpich-1.2.7//include -DNoChange   -DBlacsDebugLvl=0   -DCSameF77
BI_GetBuff.c
BI_GetBuff.c: In function `BLACBUFF* BI_GetBuff(int)':
BI_GetBuff.c:63: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'char*'
make[2]: *** [BI_GetBuff.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [INTERN] Error 2
make: *** [MPI] Error 2

This is on an OS X system with MPICH, gcc 4.0, and IBM's XLF fortran
compilers. 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
