Hi,

I also verify that x86_64 with both g77 and gfortran has the mopac problem:
Linux opt-login01.osc.edu 2.6.18-92.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 29 13:16:15 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)
g77: gcc version 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-4)
gfortran: gcc version 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42)

I tried reverting to revision 1.1 of block.f eliminating the only recent
mopac source changes; this had no effect.
-O0 -g also had no effect.
One avenue is -fbounds-check which yields a quick:
Subscript out of range on file line 43, procedure jcarin.f/jcarin.
Attempt to access the 4-th element of variable coord[subscript-1-of-2].
And now Im punting since Ross is the mopac expert ;-)


I agree that we should be very very careful when updating .save outputs.
I agree that we should be testing mopac.
But Im distancing myself from the sky is falling world of Ross since
I have seen similar partial charge differences have little affect
on docking results.
In addition, broken stuff has great pedagogical potential.

For the record these platform do not have the mopac problem:

Darwin rooster.compbio.ucsf.edu 7.9.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.9.0: Wed Mar 30 20:11:17 PST 2005; root:xnu/xnu-517.12.7.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc
gcc version 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)
g77: gcc version 3.4.0 20040107 (experimental)

Linux piv-login1 2.6.18.1 #12 SMP Sun Feb 10 17:08:11 EST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon Update 6)
gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-53)

good luck,
Scott
