Chris,

I may have talked to that friend. The real issue is that the earlier compiler worked then the later one didn't. The latest version does work however.

I do not believe that anyone broke anything to do with the software. I have compiled G03 on a variety of platforms. This case is the first one where I had a problem.

I remember the pain one of the people I know in Melbourne went through trying to get Gaussian to build on their cluster - turned out (they said) it required a specific version of a particular vendors compiler to get it to build.

My thought at the time was that they must have tried *really* hard to get it to the point where the code was broken enough to be that dependant on compiler behaviour.. :-(

cheers!
Chris
