Hi Stéphane,

I installed AMBER 8 into my SUSE 9.1 linux machine (p4 CPU) with these
compilers and the it passed the tests. I also installed the parallel
version of AMBER 8 to a cluster which has opteron CPUs with CC=icc and
FCC=ifort and it passed all of the tests. I do not know how it is with the
other systems, though. Thanks for your suggestion.

Best,
