Re: NAMD on IBM cluster AIX-RS6000

First you need to make sure tcl is compiled exactly like what is
described in:

http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/wiki/index.cgi?NamdCompile

And also, on IBM SP, there are 64 mode and 32 object mode. NAMD is
compiled using whatever is default on your system with mpiCC. If you run
"file" command with any obj file under namd2/MPI-SP/obj, you should be
able to know which mode by default it compiles.
And then you can run "file" to your libtcl8.3.so to see if they match.

There is an environment variable OBJECT_MODE which you can define to
either 32 or 64 to instruct xlC compiler which mode you want. You can
not link with libraries with different modes.
