Hi Joe,

can you post the exact command that you're using to build your code? If you're building with simfactory, you need to give it some information regarding which optionlist you want to use. The most straightforward way to do this is by adding an

--optionlist=sl6.cfg

to your build command. Otherwise you can teach it to automatically recognize your machine by creating a yourmachine.ini file under simfactory/mdb/machines, and setting the default optionlist in there.

Does this help?
