Re: AMBER: amber9 compile problem

ross, i plead ignorance to the question "does mpif90.i actually call the
intel compiler?", i was hoping ;0 ...

i tried in vain compiling the source code that comes with the "roll" in
/usr/local/topspin/mpi/mpich/src after reading all the messages about
mpi, ib libs and amber all need to be compiled with same compiler. and
i can't find a topspin src tarball although i have not gone to cisco yet.

here is the info on compiling with ifort ... first i hit an error during
the configure stage dealing with line 300 of the configure program

./configure: line 300: /usr/local/topspin/mpi/mpich/bin/mpif90: No such
file or directory

line 300 loadlib=`$MPI_HOME/bin/mpif90 -show | perl -p -e
's/(-[lL]\S+\s)|\S+\s/$1/g'`
line 301 # old: loadlib="-L$MPI_HOME/lib -lfmpich -lmpich -lpmpich"

then on first massive compilation, a slightly different error

ld: skipping incompatible /share/apps/intel/cmkl/9.1/lib/em64t/libvml.so
when searching for -lvml
ld: cannot find -lvml
make[1]: *** [sander.MPI] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/share/apps/amber/9_ifort/src/sander'
make: *** [parallel] Error 2
[root.swallowtail src]# file /share/apps/intel/cmkl/9.1/lib/em64t/libvml.*
/share/apps/intel/cmkl/9.1/lib/em64t/libvml.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared
object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped

i do see libvml.so in lib/64 and lib/32 inside $MKL_HOME and when i add
those paths to config.h i get past that error (it skips over lib/64 and
thus picks up the one in lib./32) and then i run into

/share/apps/intel/cmkl/9.1lib/64/libmkl_lapack.a: could not read
symbols: bad value

ofcourse thoroughly confusing the compiler. so why ifort not compile
amber cleanly, iow back tot he libvml error?

So what is happening here is that you are on an x86_64 machine with the correct 64 bit mpi libraries but mpif90.i is setup incorrectly so it is acting as a wrapper for the 32 bit version of the compiler.

If mpif90.i just calls ifort then you will be fine since "which ifort" should return the fce version. However, if it uses the full path then you will have modify things so it calls the correct version.
