Hi,

  Most of these gcc problem with templates and gcc3.4 have been fixed in
the latest version. For build on opteron, you will have to use "opteron"
option because it sets up several configurations for compiling on
opteron, NAMD won't run even you can compile the binary.

  I am wondering if there is any additional error messages before the
messages you patesed below, I mean the error message given by the actual
gcc compiler? Could it because of not compiling object file in 64 bits,
use command 'file foo.o' to verify. If this is the reason, use -m64
compiler flag to generate 64 bit obj files.

 New version of NAMD has Linux-amd64-MPI.arch for compiling with
Opteron and MPI.
The content of this file is:

NAMD_ARCH = Linux-amd64
CHARMARCH = mpi-linux-opteron

CXX = g++ -DSOCKLEN_T=socklen_t -DNO_STRSTREAM_H
CXXOPTS = -O3 -m64 -fexpensive-optimizations -ffast-math
CC = gcc
COPTS = -O3 -m64 -fexpensive-optimizations -ffast-math

You need to change CHARMARCH to your charm version compiled.
