Re: mpi opteron myrinet

All the charm and namd object files are compiled:
ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

I suppose I should try the opteron arch for the new version of namd.
Charm++ doesn't have a myrinet gm option for mpi-linux-amd64 though, so
I don't think it's going to work properly until that happens.

Thanks again
