Configuration

1. Version 2.1.0 of papi didn't include perfctr patch for 2.4.18 kernel. Downloaded version 2.3.8.1 of perfctr from URL above and gave that to Bruce.
2. Bruce installed patch on bleu only. Bruce prefers not to have customized kernels so we limit it to just bleu for the time being.
3. Untarred perfctr source to /l/esysadm/build/linux/perfctr/2.3.8.1
4. Modified Makefile.linux-perfctr-2.3 and changed location of linux src to /usr/src/linux-2.4.18-5/include and location of perfctr to ../../../perfctr/2.3.8.1
5. Ran make and then runtests including timer_overflow test (separately).
6. Installed to /l/local/packages/papi/2.1.0 but had to define LIBRARY=libpapi.a in order to get fortan tests installed.
