Did the configure and build go smoothly? Please let us know if you had
any problems with this.

Note that we have also tested a 32-bit build with Global Arrays
(mpp=2). Benchmark data are available at:
<URL:http://www.molpro.net/benchmark/>.

There are still problems, and many testjobs fail when using pgf90
5.0-2.
