I encountered the same problem Thomas has reported, with xleap compiling
ok
but giving a segmentation fault on start-up (after it prints out four
lines of
text stating it was adding entries to the search path). This was on an
opteron system
runniing SuSE Enterprise Server 9 and the pathscale compilers. The only
change
I had made in the supplied software was to change the entry in the
makefile
for leap for the XALEAP_LIB environment variable from -L$(XHOME)/lib
to -L$(XHOME)/lib64 so that it could find libraries like Xt. For the
config.h
file, since there is no option in configure for the pathscale compilers, I
made some
best guesses as to compiler flags, but if anyone has an optimized config.h
file
for an opteron/pathscale system, I'd be interested to see it.

The only other problem I had with the amber8 install was that the
fantasian program
(in nmr_aux) would not compile, due to not finding a subroutine/function
named rand.
