I am getting the following error while doing 'make test' on machine with following details:

Thanks,Siju

These undefined references are from the libpfm library which is included in the PAPI distribution and which should be built prior to the PAPI library files themselves. Occasionally if you get an error in the build of that library and invoke make again the PAPI files will be built without the libpfm files. Try make clean or make clobber followed by make to see if this cleans things up.

Today, I could install 3.7.1, succefully . I guess yesterday I used 'configure, make test' and missed 'make' step.
