Dear NAMD users:
I am wondering which precompiled binaries of NAMD is applicable in my case.
If not, could you give me any suggestions on compiling the source code on our cluster?
I guess the best way to obtain optimal parallel efficiency is to compile the source code on our cluster.
On entering NAMD_2.5_Source/charm,I am not sure which version I am supposed to use after typing ./build --help.
1. mpi-linux-ia64 or net-linux-ia64 ?
2. Does our opteron 248 64-bit cpu belong to ia64 type?
3. Which compiler is better? gcc or pgcc?
4. Am I supposed to set gm and opteron specific options?
5. Before typing ./build command am I supposed to set any environment variables, such as
CC=gcc and locations of other libraries, ie. home/usr/mpich.gcc-64/, -L/usr/gm/lib -lgm ?
When I was building charm with "./build charm++ mpi-linux-ia64 gm -O", a fatal error occured as following:

Software installed in our cluster follows:
System specification and software installed:
Kernel Version: 2.4.21-226
Compilers: *GCC Compilers
/usr/bin/ (version 3.2.2)
/opt/gcc32/bin/ (version 3.2.3)
/opt/gcc33/bin/ (version 3.3)
/opt/gcc34/bin/ (version 3.4.2)
/opt/gcc40/bin/ (version 4.0.0 20050220-this is a pre-release)
*For the above compilers, use -m32 for 32-bit, and -m64 for 64-bit.
**PGI Compilers
/home/pgi/linux86-64/5.1/bin/ (version 5.1-6)
/home/pgi/linux86-64/5.2/bin/ (version 5.2-4)
**For the above compilers, use -tp k8-32 for 32-bit, and -tp k8-64 for 64-bit.
MPI Compilers (version mpichgm-1.2.5..13)
/home/usr/mpich.gcc/bin (32-bit build using gcc 3.4.2)
/home/usr/mpich.gcc-64/bin (64-bit build using gcc 3.4.2)
/home/usr/mpich.pgi/bin (64-bit build using pgi 5.1-6)
/home/usr/mpich.pgi-32/bin (32-bit build using pgi 5.1-6)
Note: You may want to use the same flags for compiling in 32-bit/64-bit as regular compilers to be sure you compile in a particular "bit".
Glib Version: glibc-2.2.4-13
