In theory, you might be able to use OpenMosix to make the cluster look like one big computer, but I have never heard of anyone building a cluster to compile programs. Clusters are ususally built to run compute-intensive scientific computing applications. With a properly constructed build system, you could use several processors on a single computer with multiple processors to speed up the compiling. Use make with the -j flag, as in make -j N where N = number of processors + 1 Regards Ingemar
