Windows builds have been turned off due to problems that need to be addressed.  Fixing those issues is on the todo list.

64 bit build unit tests are causing LSF machines to crash.  John V reported that some of the unit tests were gobbling memory.  Richard stated that the LSF machines will reboot due to excessive memory use.  Navid will turn off the 64 bit builds for now and will contact Eric and John to get a list of affected unit tests.  Developers will be notified in the hopes that those unit tests can be patched.

Navid will start up the rhel3 builds, they should already be set to go.

g2c versus f2c
Navid summarized the result of discussions in the software meeting and via email.  On rhel5, according to the SLAC admins, libg2c is not provided.  We can eliminate its use in GR, and hope to do the same in ST.  For now we will have to distribute the library.ly

Navid has committed the fixes necessary to allow an overriding directory in ST.  Navid has tested this out in the simple case, and Joanne will continue trying it out.   Once Joanne gives the ok, Navid will commit the changes for GR and CHS as well.
