[molpro-user] problems running molpro-mpp-2010.1-24.Linux_x86_64 on AMD-based cluster

Dear Andy,

Please find attached my CONFIG file.

I thought that gfortran64_int64 version of ACML is needed when -i8 option is used, that 
is when default integers are 8 bytes. I may be wrong but I always thought that by default, 
64-bit gfortran under x86_64 Linux uses 4 byte integers.

BTW, only the following test jobs completed with errors:
coreocc, Cs_DKH10,  Cs_DKH2, Cs_DKH2_standard,  Cs_DKH3,  Cs_DKH4,  Cs_DKH7,  Cs_DKH8.
All others seem to be fine.

Thank you again for your help.

Best Regards,
Anatoliy

Anatoliy,

It could be that gfortran has been too aggressive when optimizing some
file. If you can send me the CONFIG file then I'll try to reproduce with
exactly the same tools.

I think that -blaspath should be:

/usr/local/acml5.1.0/gfortran64_int64/lib

i.e. the 64-bit integer version of the acml library.

Best wishes,

Andy
