To any who might advise-

We have been trying to build abinip for the IBM SP2 machine at NERSC and encountered the following error:

cd . ;  mpxlf90 -bloadmap:loadmap -bmaxdata:16384000000 -o abinis Src_main/abinis.o Src_9drive/ar_9drive.a Src_8seqpar/ar_8abinis.a Src_7suscep/ar_7suscep.a  Src_6response/ar_6response.a Src_5common/ar_5common.a Src_4iowfdenpot/ar_4iowfdenpot.a Src_4wfs/ar_4wfs.a Src_3gw/ar_3gw.a  Src_3ionetcdf/ar_3ionetcdf.a Src_3iovars/ar_3iovars.a Src_3paw/ar_3paw.a Src_3recipspace/ar_3recipspace.a  Src_3xc/ar_3xc.a Src_3xml/ar_3xml.a Src_2nonlocal/ar_2nonlocal.a  Src_2ffts/ar_2ffts.a Src_2psp/ar_2psp.a Src_2geometry/ar_2geometry.a Src_2parser/ar_2parser.a Src_2spacepar/ar_2spacepar.a  Src_1contract/ar_1contract.a Src_1managempi/ar_1managempi.a Src_1util/ar_1util.a Src_0basis/ar_0basis.a Src_defs/ar_defs.a  Lib_fftnew/fftnew.a Lib_numeric/numeric.a Lib_numericf90/numericf90.a    Lib_lapack/lapack.a -lblas ;  chmod ugo+rx abinis
ld: 0706-020 The number 16384000000 is too large for the -b maxdata option.
        Use a value that is 4294967295 (hex FFFFFFFF) or less.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 255.

The error message seems to correspond to a 32-bit address space limit. Is there any way to make abinip recognize the available memory in a parallel cluster node with sixteen 64-bit processors and 1 GB per processor?

Thanks in advance
