Why shouldn't it? I'm using it all the way from Solaris 8 to 11, with N from 2 on a single-CPU HP Proliant DL-320 G2 via 96 on a 8-socket NehalemEX Fujitsu RX900 S1 up to 128 on a SPARC Enterprise T5120. The only caveat are strange errors with gmake: make[3]: write error See CR 6938116 GNU make highly unreliable: `write error' message. I've hacked around this by ignoring the error in misc.c (close_stdout) ;-) Rainer -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rainer Orth, Center for Biotechnology, Bielefeld University
