Dear Simon,
Do you run the data evaluation on the same cluster or on some frontend user workstation? Python will only be needed for the evaluation phase and I am not sure that the packages we need support Python 2.3. Is it possible to upgrade to a more recent version of Python? Also, which Boost version is used on that OS? We need at least 1.41.

Dear Prof. Troyer,
Currently we are working with a single x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise WS r4 workstation and would like an easy rpm method of deploying ALPS onto the cluster. The python version is Red Hat supported 2.3.4. If a rpm package could be created our group would be grateful.
Many Thanks

We only have one ia64 machine at ETH that we do not use for ALPS at the moment, but I believe that Synge used to run ALPS on the ia64 architecture. Can you please check with Synge? For most casual ALPS users who want packaged releases it should be enough to support i386 and x86_64
I am also running my application under ia64 but not on Debian. The point is, that I don't believe there is many Debian-installed ia64 machine.
Then don't worry about it. We should focus on what users really need and not what one could do in principle. There is too much to do to indulge in the luxury of supporting all possible platforms just for the fun of it. To summarize, the packages we need are:
MacOS X ALPS Vistrails patch MacOS X 32-bit MacOS 10.5 MacOS X 64-bit MacOS 10.6
Windows Vistrails patch Windows 32-bit
Debian i386 Debian i86_64
How about RPM ? Suse ? Ubuntu ?
