Charm++ parallel programming system

[Phil Miller <mille121 AT illinois.edu>]

Charm++ 6.7.1 requires a compiler at least as capable as g++ version 4.4 for the partial C++11 support it provides. This was released many years ago, and was incorporated in Linux operating system distributions shortly thereafter.

CentOS version 5.8 was released over 5 years ago, and with its official End-of-Life, it ceased receiving even the most critical updates earlier this year. I recommend installing a more modern operating system version.

If that's not feasible, you could install a newer compiler version and use that to build Charm++ and NAMD. As an added bonus, you'll get better performance from improved optimizations.

Dear Developers, 

I try to compile NAMD 2.12 on a cluster (Centos 5.8) 
But I have met obstacle soon in building Charm++, the system stop me with some error like below

​I am not familiar with such kind of situation.​

​I wish you could give me some advise to solve this.

I am looking for your advise​.

​Thank you so much​
