I'm trying to install 5.4.1 using the same compiler modules etc. as I successfully did for 5.3.5. The compilation goes fine but on running a sample calculation I'm getting following error:

To put it simply I use following for compilation modules:
fftw/3.3.4/intel/14.0.2
mkl/11.1
intel-comp/14.0.2
openmpi/1.6.5/intel/14.0.2




Any help is really appreciated.

There is a separate MKL BLACS library for use with OpenMPI. The correct library is "libintel_blacs_openmpi_lp64.so". Please check the Intel Link Line Advisor. In addition, I have experienced trouble in the past compiling VASP successfully with the Intel 14 compilers. Try using Intel 13 or 15 (Composer XE 2013 or Parallel Studio 2015).

That looks like an error I get when I have a different version of a compiler loaded than I used to compile the code. I would suggest rebuilding everything (including vasp.5.lib) making sure everything is consistent (check your makefiles and don't use your makefiles form a earlier version).

Good luck

Hi ehermes and mef362,

thank you for your suggestion. From your experience, could you please tell me what combination of (1) fftw, (2) mkl, (3) intel-comp and (4) openmpi has worked for you? thanks.

In my experience, Intel compilers 13 and 15 both work equally well. Use whichever version of MKL is packaged with the Intel compiler you use. You can either use FFTW3 (compiled with the same Intel compiler + MKL), or you can use the Intel FFTW3xf interface (in $MKLROOT/interfaces/fftw3xf) -- I personally typically use the Intel interface. As far as I'm aware, any version of OpenMPI should work, but I typically use MVAPICH2. If you have Intel MPI available, you can actually do the full Intel stack (Intel FFTW3xf, MKL, ifort, and Intel MPI), which also works fine in my experience. Keep in mind that you need to modify the Makefile to be consistent with the settings that the Intel Link Line Advisor specifies. If you decide to try MVAPICH2, keep in mind that the Intel Link Line Advisor does not have it listed, but you should get compatible settings if you choose "MPICH2" as your MPI implementation.
