Re: compiling atlas2 on athlon
Greetings! I just checked the machine list, and it seems that tervola
has moved from "restricted" access to "by request". Perhaps I could
request an account to try to fix this. Its down at present, though.
Atlas also had problems on m68k and arm. Sparc, alpha and i386 work
fine.
In general, atlas is very sensitive to the guesses it makes on the
machine's cache structure. Without a prepared config file for the
arch, (automatically selected by the build process for many arches),
the build takes much longer, and can exhaust the physical memory.
Take care,
