Subject: GAMESS on Alpha using Quadrics switch

Has anyone compiled the May 6 1998 MPI version of GAMESS
on a Compaq (Dec) Alpha using a Quadrics switch (or for that
matter any more recent version using MPI)?

We previously had the "same" Alpha machine w/o this switch
and the MPI version compiled and worked quite well using `mpich`.
However, since we put in this switch and recompiled we
can only get the serial version to run.  We are using
the "prun" command and the parallel version will not
run and produce output.  It will not run interactively
or in our batch system (PBS).  We can get the parallel compiled
version to run by asking for only 1 cpu.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
