Bigmatrix malfunctioning in ppc64le architecture

[llpalma]

Hi,

We have found some issues when using the bigmemory library in our CTE-POWER machine which has a ppc64le architecture.

We tried to compile the library changing the flags in the configure file (lines 25-28) with the aim of converting the endianess specified during the compilation, but we are not able to compile the package successfully.

We were wondering if someone has tried to work with bigmemory in a pp64le architecture or similar one.

Hi. Thanks for the thorough description of the problem. I have not heard of people working with bigmemory on pp64le. Would you mind sending the error? If it's coming from some of the code that we wrote, and we can fix it, we will. If the error originates in the boost library, this will be more difficult to fix.
