Philip, Thanks for the contribution! I see the package you uploaded still contains the subversion information in the .svn subdirectories. To correctly create a package tarball you should not just compress the main/io directory in your working directory, you should first do something like: svn export main/io ~/io-1.0.12 then cd; tar cvzf io-1.0.12.tar.gz io-1.0.12 For this time I happened to notice and I rebuilt the package from the subversion repository before doing the upload. c. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
