Hello,

I installed gem5 on a fresh installation of CentOS 6.3 64bit using the 
following commands:

sudo yum install mercurial scons swig gcc m4 python python-devel gcc-c++ 
zlib-devel
hg clone http://repo.gem5.org/gem5
cd gem5/
scons build/ARM/gem5.opt -j2
scons build/X86/gem5.opt -j2
build/X86/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py -c 
tests/test-progs/hello/bin/x86/linux/hello
build/ARM/gem5.opt configs/example/se.py -c 
tests/test-progs/hello/bin/arm/linux/hello

I was able to successfully run the "hello world" test, but the default network 
test described on 
http://gem5.org/Interconnection_Network
gives the following error (for both the ARM and X86):

[bpayne@virtualcentos gem5]$ build/ARM/gem5.opt 
configs/example/ruby_random_test.py --num-cpus=16 --num-dirs=16 --topology=Mesh

Note: the "run_random_test.py" listed on the wiki doesn't exist in the example 
directory. Let me know if I should update the documentation on the wiki to 
reflect the current file name "ruby_random_test.py"

Summary: I'm not sure what is causing this "Warning: rounding error > 
tolerance" error or what to do about it. Other people have seen it but no 
resolution was listed.
I see that the tolerance is set in gem5/build/<ARCH>/python/m5/ticks.py
Do I just make the tolerance larger?


Thank you,
