[molpro-user] molpro + GA + scalapack?

[Andy May]

Stefan,

I don't think this relates to the Intel compiler versions (11.x), since
the compilers don't ship with MPI wrappers. This appears instead related
to the version of Intel MPI installed, for 3.2 this is the link information:

~]$ mpiicc -link_info
icc -I/software/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include64
-L/software/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/lib64 -Xlinker --enable-new-dtags
-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker $libdir -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
/opt/intel/mpi-rt/3.2 -lmpi -lmpiif -lmpigi -lrt -lpthread -ldl
~]$ mpigcc -link_info
gcc -I/software/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/include64
-L/software/intel/impi/3.2.0.011/lib64 -Xlinker --enable-new-dtags
-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker $libdir -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker
/opt/intel/mpi-rt/3.2 -lmpi -lmpigf -lmpigi -lrt -lpthread -ldl

and 'lmpigf' is only present in the mpigcc case, not the mpiicc case. As
you point out, when using Intel MPI 4.0 the link options for mpiicc also
includes lmpigf:

 ~]$ mpiicc -link_info
icc -ldl -ldl -ldl -ldl -I/software/intel/mpi/4.0.0.025/intel64/include
-L/software/intel/mpi/4.0.0.025/intel64/lib -Xlinker --enable-new-dtags
-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /software/intel/mpi/4.0.0.025/intel64/lib
-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /opt/intel/mpi-rt/4.0.0 -lmpi -lmpigf -lmpigi
-lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lpthread -lrt

which is pretty annoying. But actually it is the removal of 'lmpiif' for
mpiicc which causes Molpro's configure script to trip up.

In terms of building Molpro though, there is nothing to worry about
since the settings for intel-mpi-gfortran and intel-mpi-ifort are the
same, so you can just ignore the fact configure prints intel-mpi-gfortran.

Best wishes,

Andy
