Dear administer:

When I tried to compile vasp using intel compiler on Ubuntu 7.10, it has following error message when using make in vasp.4.lib/ directory:

~/vasp/src/vasp.4.lib$ make
/opt/intel/fc/10.1.011/bin/ifort -O0 -FI -FR -c preclib.f
Unknown option: GLOB_diag_file
compilation aborted for preclib.f (code 1)
make: *** [preclib.o] Error 1

What does this error message mean? Thanks a lot.

sorry, this is not vasp-related. please ask your sys admin.

I used intel compiler and mkl. Their editions are very new. I think that could be the problem on installation on Ubuntu7.10. But how to solve the problem? which way to go? could you give me more information on why that kind of problem could show up? thanks a lot.

please use a compiler release which is stable, or ask the developers of Intel.

Thanks for your information. By testing a small program using ifort, I found that the ifort could not work correctly and it showed same error message. So I reinstallted the ifort and it can work well now. The vasp compilation has no such kind of error message now. I hope it can help others suffering from similar kind of situation.
