no, you are getting many small discrepancies (none of which seems to
me serious) and two errors, namely:

that deserve to be investigated. It is hard to say more without at
least the output files (berry.out and paw-atom_l=2.out), though,
or even better, some more precise pointer to what went wrong.
Q-E sort of works on recent Linux IBM machines with xlf compiler,
but it is of course much less tested than on PC-class machines.
By the way: if you run on the MareNostrum Barcelona supercomputer,
use "./configure ARCH=ppc64-mn"
