Charm++ parallel programming system

[Albert Kwansa <kwansa AT hotmail.com>]

Dear Charm++ Developers,

We are attempting to compile Charm++ (charm-6.3.2) included with the source code for NAMD 2.8 on a MacOSX computing cluster (PowerPC CPUs; uses an InfiniBand-based network) with MPI (MPICH version 1.2.5), but we've been unsuccessful in our attempts.

The build line that we are are using is: "env MPICXX=mpicxx ./build charm++ mpi-darwin-ppc --basedir /nfs/compilers/mpich-1.2.5". And "mpicxx --version" leads to the following: "g++ (GCC) 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)". Also, we haven't made any modifications to the "conv-mach.sh" file in the "mpi-darwin-ppc" charm-6.3.2./arch folder.

A truncated output representative of our unsuccessful build attempts is below. We've also tried to compile different versions of Charm++ (i.e., charm-6.1 & charm-6.2.1), but all attempts result in these same set of errors. We've tried looking through the Charm++ mailing list archive, but it does not appear that these specific errors have been encountered elsewhere, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time. Please let me know if any additional information could be helpful to help identify where we may be going wrong.

-Albert
