Expected results: Additional info: Mr. Gropp of MPICH group informed me than bswap_32 is not a symbol in MPICH. This is probably an error in the Intel compiler or an incompatibility between the system header files on RedHat and the Intel compiler. A member of the Intel compiler user group onformed me that it might be the problem of the version of glibc under RH8.0.
This was fixed in glibc-2.3.1-9.
Thank you for the information, but glibc-2.3.1-9 rpm cannot be downloaded from at.rpmfind.net. can anyone help?
