Re: [Apbs-users] compiling problem with APBS

[David G. <sd...@gm...>]

Hi Wei,

   The problem that you are having appears to be due to a confidence  
test in the configure script, specifically:
|
| int
| main ()
| {
| #ifndef __GNUC__
|        choke me
| #endif
|
|   ;
|   return 0;
| }

  It may be possible that the Portland compilers don't define  
__GNUC__ . What version of the compilers are you using?

   Thanks,

Dave
