DER - 10/14/2011 - * For Red Storm, a Cray XT3 system, the yod command sometimes gives the message, "yod allocation delayed for node recovery". This interferes with test suites that do not expect to see this message. See the section of "Red Storm" in file INSTALL_parallel for a way to deal with this problem. - AKC - 2008/05/28 + (AKC - 2008/05/28) * On an Intel 64 Linux cluster (RH 4, Linux 2.6.9) with Intel 10.0 compilers, use -mp -O1 compilation flags to build the libraries.
