no, because v.3 has different calling sequences from v.2 > or is in project to switch to fftw3? there is a modified fft_scalar module, written by Pascal Thibaudeau et al., that works with fftw3 on Alpha and SGI machines, but not on Intel PCs, for unknown reasons. Apparently fftw3 is slower than fftw2 on SGI machines, faster on Alpha but only if memory is allocated in such a way to be aligned with pages. Anybody interested in using fftw3 can start from there, if the author(s) of the modified module agree in distributing it.
