Dear Myunggi

I would completely avoid trying to build a parallel version of the code
until you have the serial version fully working and tested.

I suspect that the error you see comes from the fact that your massv library
does not have the vtanh function in it. This is probably a very old version
of massv. You can check it using 'nm'

nm /usr/lib/libmassv.a | less

Then search for vtanh. You should see something like this:

libmassv.a[vtanh_p4.32.o]:
.vtanh T 0
.vtanh_ T 0
TOC d 3852
vtanh D 3840 12
vtanh t 0 3439
vtanh t 3456 380
vtanh_p4.32s f -

If you don't then that is the problem. You then have three options. Firstly
you can upgrade the massv library to one that supports vtanh. Secondly you
can modify the config script to not use the massv library. This option is
probably the easiest but will lead to a big performance hit. Finally you can
edit part of the amber code to use a scalar approach to doing tanh.

Let me know if you don't find vtanh in your libmassv and I will send you a
quick patch to not use the vectored mass library for tanh.

All the best
Ross
