Once you get it to run, please tell me what you needed to change so that we can update the configure script to support the NERSC machines.

Matthias,
Don't worry about the xlC 6/7 patches. I got v.8 to work finally except for errors related to memory limits on the head-node, which NERSC told me how to fix.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff, I just tried again on our IBM system (which was down for a few days) and have no problem with xlC 8. I will nevertheless forward the patches which we needed for xlC 6 and xlC 7, although there we had compiler and not linker problems. Another possibility to explore is to change the version number 700 to 800 in line 85 of src/alps/lattice/graphproperties.h . There is apparently a problem that when typenames get too long on some IBM systems the linker does not manage to mangle them correctly. We dropped some graph properties for these systems - the change will disable the calculation of superfluid densities and spin stiffnesses, but I guess it should then link.

Matthias,
The default, which I used, is 7.0.0.2, and I just now tried 8.0.0.0 which gave a different error at a later point. Fortunately, Googling gave me the fix (C/F)FLAGS=-qnorm (turn off licensing) and got me through until linking. Linking did not go well (see below) but I suspect the fixes you alluded to will solve the problem.
I'm happy to use either compiler, whichever you say is better. I appreciate your help very much.
