Well, I'm certainly under qualified to evaluate your thread (-:
It would SEEM that you were getting error messages that
said the flags to the compiler were wrong/inappropriate (GUESSING) ?
I got specific tune errors 2 and 255.
I'm not saying they don't have some common cause, just that the
symptoms
seem so different.
What little I've read over the last day or three (a long day) suggests
to me
that ATLAS is complex and requires quite a bit of specialised
knowledge about IT as well as all the tools that build it.
