new Linux version of MARK

[cooch]

Just posted new version on MARK compiled for Linux (what I refer to internally as linMARK). Latest and greatest version of the source code (meaning, the disparity between Windows MARK and linMARK is minimal). Links to the tarball, and the slightly tweaked set of docs for installing, found here:

Reminder that linMARK is an 'on your own' enterprise -- meaning, if it works for you, great! If not, there are limits to how much help can be provided (since the reasons why it might not work are almost always due to the unique circumstances of your Linix distro, and how you've configured it).

Recently tweaked/fix the compiled versions of MARK that are online. Biggest change is that I reduced the number of compiler optimizations to make the executables less machine-dependent, and also did the compilations using gfortran 4.4 -- about 5% performance gain based on some simple benchmarks. However, since the executables are built using dynamic (shared) libraries, this means you'll need gfortran 4.4 installed on your machine to make it work. On most modern distros, this shouldn't be a problem.

I just tested the new MARK on my laptop (32bit Intel Dual Core) running Ubuntu 4.4.4 ( 2.6.32-23-generic). No install errors or issues for the 32 bit version I could see. Clean run of the test file, fairly quick (Time in minutes for this job was 0.09)
