Joe,


   If you have 3.0 compilers and Red Hat 6.0 Linux
(the 1.7 compilers are not supported on RH 6),
you  need the following changes, where appropriate:

save a copy of $PGI/linux86/lib/libpgnod_prof.a
save a copy of $PGI/linux86/lib/libpgc.a

ftp ftp.pgroup.com/x86/linux86-patches/rh6/libpgc.a.gz
ftp ftp.pgroup.com/x86/linux86-patches/rh6/libpgnod_prof.a.gz
gunzip libpgc.a.gz
  and copy the new libpgc.a to $PGI/linux86/lib
gunzip libpgnod_prof.a.gz
  and copy the new libpgnod_prof.a to $PGI/linux86/lib

============================================================
if you have pgCC, you will also need to

save a copy of $PGI/linux86/lib/libstd.a
save a copy of $PGI/linux86/lib/libC.a

ftp ftp.pgroup.com/x86/linux86-patches/rh6/libstd.a.gz
ftp ftp.pgroup.com/x86/linux86-patches/rh6/libC.a.gz
gunzip libstd.a.gz
  and copy the new libstd.a to $PGI/linux86/lib
gunzip libC.a.gz
  and copy the new libC.a to $PGI/linux86/lib

============================================================

if you have pghpf, you will also need to

save a copy of $PGI/linux86/lib/libpghpf_prof.a

ftp ftp.pgroup.com/x86/linux86-patches/rh6/libpghpf_prof.a.gz
gunzip libpghpf_prof.a.gz
  and copy the new libpghpf_prof.a to $PGI/linux86/lib

============================================================
In addition, if you use -mp or -Mconcur, there is an additional
consideration.

  With Red Hat 6, our version of libpthread.a does not work,
but the standard Red Hat version does.

  As a workaround, we suggest renaming $PGI/linux86/lib/libpthread.a
to something like $PGI/linux86/lib/libpthread.a-old.
This should work by now linking in the standard RH 6 version,
except in cases where the stack size needed is larger than
the RH 6 version provides. We are working on a PGI version
of libpthread.a for next release with larger stacks.

=============================================================

If you need to reinstall the compilers, make sure your gnu
env is correct because the installation script uses it to set the
gcc libs pointers your pgi compile session will use. Also, the
patches above will need to be reapplied.

Compilers ought to be reinstalled if the OS has been changed
since the compilers were installed.
