Charm++ parallel programming system

[Albert Kwansa <kwansa AT hotmail.com>]

Dear Charm++ Mailing List,

I apologize for this redundant message. I noticed that the message that I 
sent was not spaced properly and as a result may be difficult to follow. 
Please view this version instead.

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
