Are you using Amber 7?
See the Amber web page under "Amber-related links" to download
files and instructions we (at NEC) used to build Amber 7 on
Itanium. The files and instructions you want to look at are for
the NEC_TX systems. This was initially done on Itanium but
should be fine for Itanium2. If you have any further questions
please contact us.

Subject: sander (CAP) chokes on efc (Itanium2/Linux)
I have compiled AMBER on an Itanium2/Linux machine using the
Intel
Fortran Compiler that comes by the name of 'efc' instead of 'ifc'
by
just making a symbolic link ifc -> efc and using Machine.ifc.
The test
runs passed perfectly on most items but failed dismally on a
small
number of items notably in Run.cap in nonper, reporting a series
of
question marks '?????????' instead of numbers (indicating the
number
blew up). Given that the same program works perfectly in most
runs but
blows up completely in others, I suspect this is a compiler
issue, or
some slight unintended/unannonced modification in the Fortran
grammar
from ifc to efc. Can you possibly provide me with some helpful
information (e.g. a Machine file specifically tuned for use with
efc/Red
Hat Linux)?
Thank you.
