Re^5: Problems with FF in Ubuntu 9.10 after a kernel update

I can also confirm this with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit.  I have subsequently reinstalled 10.04 (original release) and am up and running again (and dare not to update for the time being).  By the way, if one goes this way, find 10.04, do not use 10.04.1 release or you will receive the same error!

Regards,
Gordon

The error is of the same kind of the one reported by Reinaldo and it affects both serial and parallel runs (under different version of MPI; I currently use the FireFly version 7.1.G with MPICH, MPICH2 and openMPI).
