This is a common problem when the mpi libraries were compiled with a
different compiler to the program you want to run. Typically on Linux
machines people compile the mpi libraries with GCC and g77. Hence you cannot
link against ifort F90. Aome compilers support flags such as
-Mnosecondunderscore but my advice would be to download the latest version
of either mpich or lam and compile it yourself (statically if you can) using
the same compiler as you are using to compiler sander.
Make sure you enable fortran 90 support when compiling the mpi libraries.
Adjust your paths so that the version you have compiled in your home
directory is used in place of the version installed in /usr/local. This way
you will have much more control on how things are compiled and fewer
hassles.
All the best
Ross
