[charm] problems with compiling charm++ programs on Cell

[ion.mironescu]

Hello, 

I use charm 6.2.0 downloaded from the web site on a QS22 blade with Linux 

Building environment:  

gcc using built-in specs.
Target: ppc64-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--enable-checking=release --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
--disable-libunwind-exceptions --enable-libgcj-multifile
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,obj-c++,java,fortran --enable-java-awt=gtk
--disable-dssi --enable-plugin
--with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/jre --enable-secureplt
--with-long-double-128 --host=ppc64-redhat-linux --build=ppc64-redhat-linux
--target=ppc64-redhat-linux --with-cpu=default32
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)  

Linux version 2.6.18-128.7.1.el5 

Cell Sdk 3.1 

i need help in two issues (possibly corelated). 

1) the first try to build the charm++ core failed signaling an error in
simd.h at line 689 
 inline
veclf vinsertlf(veclf v, const double s, const int i) { return
vec_insert(s,v,i); }

invalid parameter for Altivec intrinsic 

i replaced that line with 

 inline veclf vinsertlf(veclf v, const double s, const int i) { veclf r =
v; double* rPtr = ( double*)( rPtr[i] = s; return r; } 

and the build ended wit the succes message 

Is my replacement correct and safe? 

2) when i try to compile anyting from the test or examples directories i
received this error messages 

./../../bin/charmc -language charm++ -o hello hello.o -lm

 Command spu-gcc -Wl,-N -L../../../bin/../lib -o
main__funcLookup__.genSPECode main__funcLookup__.genSPECode.o -lcellspu
returned error code 1
charmc exiting... 

Normaly sqrt should be defined in math.h wich is not anymore included for
Cell in the same simd.h ( where the offending function _vsqrt is also
defined) 

I tried to include math.h and to link with the math library (-lm) but
nothing works. 

It seems to be more a link as an include probleme but i don't have a clue.


Please help me in this second issue! 

Thank you! 

With best regards
