Folks: For some work done recently for a customer, we built some optimized x86_64 based RPMs of HMMer 2.3.2. Currently they are hosted at http://downloads.scalableinformatics.com/downloads/hmmer/ . We have static binaries compiled with gcc 3.3.1, gcc 3.4.0 both with and without PVM. Source RPMs are available are as the spec-files. Please send bug reports on packaging to us.
