Minutes of the LIM meeting, Mar 24, 2005

Present: Emil Obreshkov (ATLAS), David Quarrie (ATLAS), Vasily Kabachenko (ATLAS), Andreas Pfeiffer (SPI)

Apologies: Florence Ranjard (LHCb), Shahzad Muzaffar (CMS), Eric Poinsignon (SPI)

Actions:

David introduced Vasily as the second librarian from ATLAS who will join the LIM meetings from now on.

The compiler version 3.4.3 is installed for public use at CERN for the IA32, IA64 and AMD64 platforms. The path to the compiler is:

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/3.4.3/slc3_ia32_gcc343/
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/3.4.3/slc3_ia64_gcc343/
/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/contrib/gcc/3.4.3/slc3_amd64_gcc343/

An initial try with the 3.4.3 compiler showed that most external packages of the configuration LCG_34 do build properly, some show non-trivial problems which are looked at.

Issues:

No new issues (compared to the action items below) were raised.

Next meeting: April 07, 11:00.

Action items:

* install new CLHEP version as soon as it will be available
