CCL:G: Gaussian 03 on CentOS 5.2

I have installed a licensed intel linux 64 (intel em64t) version of
 gaussian 03 (with Linda) on a PQS computer (running centos 5) that has
 2
 quadcore xeons per node and 2 nodes.  It runs great on 8 processors
 with
 %nprocshared=8 and quite well on all 16 processors using Linda for
 internode communications with %nprocshared=8 and %nprocLinda=2.  I am
 by
 no means a linux expert, but I did not have any significant problems
 with the install.
