can you elaborate? What "failed completely"? (exact cut & paste error
messages please)

It will only get supported if we know where it fails and what needs to
be fixed.

GRASS will not do multi-thread internally, but it will work on SMP just
fine, one process at a time.

I would think that OS would be fine. The problem is much more likely to
be the 64bit-ness vs. SuSE-ness. More and more people are using 64bit
so any 64bit problems are of interest...


Did you try with optimization flags turned off?
