The problem is that it keeps complaining about not having many library
files..I tried and installed them..now, when i compiled, it didnt' give an
error..but when opened it gave segmentation fault.. i read somewhere online
that u need to use unlimit stacksize, which I did and still doesnt work.
i had used -mpi opition and also to use mesa ..
hit a wall again..
Regards,
vishwa
