Hi,

I'm trying to install VASP using ifort Ver. 10.0.023 and the linux_ifc_P4 makefile. I'm getting an error that makes it sound as if diolib.f isn't compiling properly. Short of rewriting the file, I don't know what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.


quadcore:~/VASP/src/vasp.4.lib # make
ifort -O3 -byte_kinds -free -c diolib.f
ifort: command line warning #10006: ignoring unknown option '-byte_kinds'

compilation aborted for diolib.f (code 1)
make: *** [diolib.o] Error 1

Just FYI, in case anyone else runs into this: all I did to resolve it was untar the files again and start from scratch. I guess if you mess something up you can cause this error.

hmmm, that sounds strange. In the makefiles, preclib should be compiled BEFORE diolib, therefore the parameter q should be defined and known at this stage of compilation. please check if prelib.o was generated. In case it was not,
please check if the pre-compiler generated the preclib.f file properly (your problem may be due to some error in the precomiler)
Also, please
--) check the
DOBJ = preclib.o timing_.o derrf_.o dclock_.o diolib.o dlexlib.o drdatab.o
line in your makefile and
--) remove the -byte-kinds compilation option (it is ignored anyway, because it is an unknown option to ifort)
