[molpro-user] trouble configuring using Intel fortran on amd64 (opteron)

[Kelly Higgins]

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for your quick response on the eve of Memorial Day weekend.  I 
tried a number of options including -ifc and setting IA64ROOT to no 
avail.  In looking through the getmachine script it appears the Intel 
compiler is only set up for 64 bit compilation for the Itanium 
architecture and not the x86_64 architecture.  The compiler for 64 bit 
x86_64's is called using ifort or ifc, not efc as in the case of the 
Itanium, so configure assumes it is the 32 bit compiler and uses a CFLAG 
of -m32, which leads to the error about the incompatible libsvml.a. 
I've been modifying the getmachine script to work with the x86_64 ifc 
compiler but I haven't gotten it to work yet and I'm not sure about all 
of the flags that should be set.

Does anyone have a CONFIG file that works for x86_64's in 64 bit mode 
using Intel 9.0 fortran and 8.1 mkl?  This configuration is listed in 
the 'Supported machines' but I didn't find a CONFIG file on the 
'Benchmarks' page.

Thanks,
Kelly
