Hi, I am posting to this list as I suppose that people interested in IA64 are not that far from being interested in OpenMP stuff, and I did not find any other suse list somehow specific on this issue. The issue ist the following: we try to run the intel compiler 6.0 on a Pentium4 with Suse7.3 and 2.4.18 kernel. When switching over to OpenMP, we get segfaults in the startup phase. The intel guys told us that we would need a glibc with FLOATING_STACKS enabled, and gave us a version. However just replacing the lib leads to a complete crash of all other tools. So I suppose the issue is more complex. Do you have any suggestion (at least the RTFM thing -- where I can find out more) ? Could the problem be resolved by compiling glibc by ourselves ?
