George, other namd users,

Do you have a step-by-step recipe for compiling NAMD on Blue Gene P ?
I am not even able to build tcl 8.4.19 .... I get "sythax errors" in
tclUnixInit.c file ....

Is there a specific tcl version for Blue Gene P ?
Also .. what about fftw, which one do you use on Blue Gene P ?

I decided to give it a trial myself and compile it as I dont seem to
have an explanation for the glic errors I reported earlier ..

Best wishes
Vlad
