Thank you for clearing that ip Jeff, what is the cost of using this option. The comments in the code led me to believe this was more to do with pinning memory than anything else? Would it be advisable to add a mpicc option to enable and disable linking this library, with 1.2.6 I was sucesfully able to compile and run a application without it by simply changing the gcc compile line. Ashley,
