CCL:Porting Molpro 98.1 on linux system



 Dear CCL Readers,
 the appended message about porting MOLPRO 98.1 to Linux systems
 with Portland compiler was forwarded to me. The hanging is due
 to a numerical problem in the Lapack Library, which disappears
 when compiling with -O1. Anybody who is interested to use
 the Portland compiler for Molpro should get patch 98.1.linux_portland.sh
 from the Molpro Web page. With this patch all should work
 nicely (at least it does for me!). You should also get
 patch  98.1.linuxblas.sh, which supports the highly tuned
 blas library obtainable from www.cs.utl.edu/~ghenry/distrib.
 Use lsblasppro1.1n_01.99.a! Using Portland + this blas library
 yields quite impressive performance (on PII/450 MHZ about as
 SGI Powerchallenge R10K/200MHZ for large Molpro applications!)
 Good luck!
 Joachim Werner
