Hello,

Fortunately this is only the compilation of a test program (which
doesn't use openmp). The library is successfully compiled before.
Nonetheless error messages are bad.

OpenMP does not seem to be widely used among ADOL-C users, so we don't
get enough feedback and bug reports about that part of the code.

I'll apply your patch to the svn trunk. As soon as I've ported the
OpenMP initialisation code to the new internal memory manager, I'll get
back to you about testing it before I make a release. Expect an Email
about mid August.

Thanks.

P.S. Also thanks to Brad Bell about his hint for using the OpenMP memory
manager.
