Thanks again, Joe. Yes, I went through the makedis.csh script as well. = What you have stated is correct, it doesn't resolve to = solaris64.ncbi.mk. I have gcc 3.1, but was not able to get to compile = using the solaris64.ncbi.mk file by copying it to replace = solaris.ncbi.mk. I have binaries now from solaris.ncbi.mk. Will still = fiddle with this for a while Thanks Filatei=20 > -----Original Message----- > From: Joseph Landman [mailto:landman@scalableinformatics.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 10:47 AM > To: biocluster > Cc: biodevelopers > Subject: RE: [Bioclusters] RE: About the parallel Blast on PVM >=20 >=20 > Hi Filatei: >=20 > Which version of gcc are you running?
