guys,
i just successfully build a CUDA-2.2 version from the NAMD cvs code
without any NAMD related problems. from looking at the change log
the attached patch is required to fix those compilation problems
properly.
hope this helps,
axel.
ps.: roman, FYI, i'm getting similar speedups with a GTX 260
card compared to what you reported, but this is with a very
unusual input which seems to keep a lot of work on the CPU
and thus restricts the speedup.
