Thanks John, I'll be compiling this version for our IBM BlueGene system
to run on the frontend node (PPC64 SLES9).

Thanks for the offer to assist :-)

Mike,
  I don't have a precompiled binary for SLES9, but I have compiled
it on PPC64 (BigRed cluster at Indiana). To do a PPC64 build, you'll
likely want to use the current CVS sources since I made a lot of
improvements
for PPC64 builds since VMD 1.8.6 was released. I don't have a PPC64
test
platform other than the BigRed cluster, so if you need help with
anything
or you run into snags, feel free to email me.
