[Difx-users] Problem in installation of DiFX

[Adam Deller]

Hi Lupin,

2.4 is the latest stable version.

I actually ran into the genipppc problem last week and updated the genipppc
file, but I only checked it in just now.  But note that trunk DiFX won't
work with IPP version 9 (or 2017).  Several functions that we use are
deprecated and were removed.  Chris Phillips has a branch (ipp9) that
works, which you can use for testing, but we intend to re-merge the ipp9
branch and trunk within the next two weeks.

Cheers,
Adam
