    Paul,
     
    Thanks in advance. I need your assistance to install Berkeley UPC on windows XP.
     
    1. I have installed cygwin in D:\cygwin directory and I have provided the path D:\cygwin\bin in the environmental variable.
        I have installed the packages you have mentioned.
     
    2. I have downloaded berkeley_upc-2.10.0.tar.gz and I have put it in D:\S-PLUS7\R\Parallel\Berkeley.
     
    3. I have gone through the INSTALL.txt and I am trying to build a make file. I think, I have problem here.
     
    mkdir d:\upc
    cd d:\upc
    D:\S-PLUS7\R\Parallel\Berkeley\berkeley_upc-2.10.0.tar.gz /configure CC=gcc CXX=g++ \
    MPI_CC=mpiexec
     
    Error at the dos prompt: MPI_CC is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
    Notes: 1. I have installed MPICH2 in D:\MPICH2 and I have provided the path D:\MPICH2\bin in the environmental variable. As per test, it is working well.
              2. I like to install Berkeley UPC in D:\upc directory.
     
    Once again, thank you very much for the time you have given.
     
    Regards,
     
    Deb

    Deb,
    
    1.  Our internal notes for preparation of that huge tarball list the 
    following as the minimum required Cygwin packages:
      autoconf automake bash coreutils cvs emacs flex gcc4 gdb indent less 
    more m4 nano ncftp openssh patch patchutils pdksh perl_manpages pine 
    ping rsync tcsh time wget vim zsh
    However, that might not be perfectly up-to-date, and I suspect some of 
    those aren't truly necessary.  However, you can always re-run the Cygwin 
    installer to add more packages later if you need them.
    
    I suspect you need at least "tar" as well, to unpack the sources.
    
    2.  You need "A".
    The source-to-source translator in "B" does not build on Cygwin.  
    However, the default configuration when you build "A" uses a 
    network-based translator service we run, eliminating the need for most 
    users to build "B".
    
    You should be able to follow the instructions in INSTALL.txt in the 
    source tarball to build and install the Berkeley UPC Compiler.
    
    You can find the manual pages for the "upcc" compiler command and 
    "upcrun" job launcher at:
       http://upc.lbl.gov/docs/user/upcc.html 
    and
      http://upc.lbl.gov/docs/user/upcrun.html 
    
    The file upc-examples/hello.upc in the source tarball is a simple 
    example UPC program.
