NCAR Graphics on 64 bit AMD Opteron (x86-64)

All,

Any experience building/running NCAR Graphics 4.3.1 on AMD Opteron
systems?

The architecture is x86-64, running RedHat Enterprise 3.0 WS for AMD64.

After adding the x86-64 type to the config/ymake file, annd changing
the -L/usr/X11R6/lib to -L/usr/X11R6/lib64, I was able to build and
install NCAR Graphics, and much of it works (idt for example seems to
run fine)

However, using ncargex to compile/run the example programs, the
executables all give a segmentation fault.

Output from gdb shows the fault is occuring in sbytes:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /decaf1/ncargex/carfill

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
sbyte_ (p=0x65f690, u=0x660560, q=0x7fbfff8200, b=0x6625b0) at gsbytes.c:131
131 *t = ((*t >> qb) << qb) + (G1BYTE(*u, jq, qb));
(gdb) where
#0 sbyte_ (p=0x65f690, u=0x660560, q=0x7fbfff8200, b=0x6625b0) at gsbytes.c:131

#9 0x0000000000403508 in MAIN__ () at carfill.f:57
#10 0x0000000000476d76 in main ()

I notice in gsbytes.c near the top, the code:

#define MASK ( (unsigned) 0xffffffff)
#define SWORD 32 /* Word size in bits */
#define G1BYTE(p,q,b) ((unsigned) p << q >> (SWORD - b))

doesn't look like it's written for 64 bit systems, but aparently
that same code is used on sgi, ibm and alpha 64 bit compiles?

Anyone have any experience with NCARG on Opteron systems, or any
ideas to try?

Output from my 'make everything' can be seen at

http://sysadm.aos.wisc.edu/~poker/ncarg-make-output.txt

gcc version 3.2.3-24 (redhat)
glibc version glibc-2.3.2-95.6 (redhat)

Thanks,

Pete
