Rob, Jianwei,
<p>Today I tried getting parallelnetcdf working with the Flash code on
ASCI Q (Alpha Compaq cluster running Tru64) I was able to get older
versions supplied to me by Jianwei to compile (becasue the configure's
don't check if size_t and int are the same size) but code linked with this
library fails in a similar way that hdf5_parallel i/o is failing on Q in
Flash, I get errors saying the comminucator is not valid:
<p>4 4: The communicator is invalid8
<br>4 0: Exiting with status 500 (MPI_ERR_COMM in class MPI_ERR_COMM)
<br>3 3: Exiting with status 500 (MPI_ERR_COMM in class MPI_ERR_COMM)
<p>But most important to you all the configure script from your newest
distribution (0.8.9) stops with the size_t int comparison:
<p>checking for size_t... yes
<br>checking whether size_t and int size match... no
<br>configure: error: This is a critical error; please report this size
mismatch to the developers!
<p>I'll be talking with system folks that administor the ASCI machines
tommorow, so I'll tell them what I've learned (as I indicated before
even or hdf5_parallel module doesn't work on this system) so far, but if
you have any questions that I should ask them based on what I said here
let me know before tommorow morning.
<p>thanks,
<p>--Brad
