Hi, Paul;
Thanks for your reply. The latest comments are:
(1) I could compile blcr 0.4.2 + lammpi 7.1.2b31 +
kernel 2.6.12.1 and it seems to work fine. My
C compiler and all stuff (libs, binutils etc) are
the latest stable releases. My problem mentionned
on last e-mail was with MPI.
(2) A "hook": to compile blcr on 64 bits architecture I
did a modification on its code (I was a little bit
desesperated ;) ). I got a compiler error on
~/blcr-0.4.2/vmadump/vmadump_x86_64.c
when compiling to 64 bits. It complained about the
"movl" instructions on in-line asm instructions. I changed
to "mov" (any comments??)
Only after the change mentionned above I could get blcr+lam
to work on my kernel 2.6.12.1 on Dual Opteron 64 bits. I
installed also blcr on 32 bits architectures (no problems) and
I ran the same applications getting the same results, so I
think that this change didn't not affected blcr behavior....
Thanks again for your reply and comments about contraints
on using blcr on 64 bits architectures (all my applications are
compiled to 64 bit).
