Dear VASP users,
I am trying to install VASP on PIII machine with Redhat linux OS. The compiler I used is intel fortran compiler 9.0 and blas package is intel math cornel library 8.0.2. While compiling I am getting the error message:
.......
make: ifc: command not found
make: *** [base.o] Error 127

Could you please suggest me why am I getting the error message? How can it be solved?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

the intel fortran compiler is called ifort and not ifc at least in the 9.0 version

Thanks Veronika!
So, is the error due to incorrect Makefile? Which Makefile should I use for intel PIII machines?

Start with the makefile you have and modify it appropriately for the peculiarities of your system. Just like always.

please also check if the directory in which your compiler is installed is included in your $PATH. Alternatively, call the compiler with its complete path in Makefile.
