If you're cross compiling, yes. It's not like this takes a huge amount of time to figure out: You cross-compile schroedinger, it fails, you realize that it attempts to use /some/prefix/orcc.exe, realize that you need to a) get an orcc tool that runs locally, and b) tell schroedinger to run that tool. 30 seconds looking in the Makefile tells you that it's using the ORCC variable, which leads you directly to the solution of using 'make ORCC=/usr/bin/orcc'. If you overthink it, you might wonder if orcc has some platform dependency, but either examining or executing the generated code would lead you to think "probably not". And indeed, the answer is no. dave... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
