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 > -----Original Message----- > From: Joseph Landman [mailto:landman at scalableinformatics.com] > Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 10:47 AM > To: biocluster > Cc: biodevelopers > Subject: RE: [Bioclusters] RE: About the parallel Blast on PVM > > > Hi Filatei: > > Which version of gcc are you running?
