Hi
I am trying to compile DL_POLY program which is a scientific package written in Fortran language.
it needs Intel Parallel studio and LAM/MPI for being compiled because it is a Parallel program.I have installed them correctly on my computer. when I type make ifort I give this error messages:
make[1]: *** [par] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/user/dl_poly_2.17/srcf90'
make: *** [ifort] Error 2

There must be the actual error preceding this.

what operating system and what version is it ?

so i take it you installed "Intel Parallel studio" AND tested it to make sure it WORKS

openMPI is in most repos - it is for my ScientificLinux and OpenSUSE

Dear John
I am using Opensuse 13.1. my program does not respond when I use openMPI. I should use LAM/MPI.

can you please post the rest of the error

that can NOT be the full error

did "configure" fully run ? and with out issues ?
or is this a "makefile project " ???

and what version of "DL_POLY" 3 or 4 ????
or the very old 2

also please post a link to the download url you used


if the old 2

the current gcc 4.8 in opensuse would be a bit too new

install gcc 4.1 from the 13.1 "dev:gcc" obs repo

and set alternatives or create a shell script to reset the links to move the compiler from 4.8 to 4.1

This is a makefile project. I type "make ifort" in the command line.The version of DL_POLY is 2.17.
Thanks for your answer.

this is fairly self explanatory
the compiler can not find those 4 the needed prerequisites
( the libraries are missing )

did you install them?
if in a NON standard locations did you add those locations to the system

suse uses " /usr " and it dose NOT use "/usr/local"

The four Intel MPI libs, etc. ...
{ libmpi_usempi.so, libmpi_mpifh.so, libopen-rte.so, libopen-pal.so } :
... Find their location, and set the *PATH >>>
>>>
Like $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel///lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH && make

I have installed the needed libraries in /usr but still does not work!

Re #9.

Are you sure the libraries are in /usr/lib(64) ? ? Please check.

Intel<something> will typically install libraries like :
$PREFIX/<application>/<application>/lib/<arch>/

Example : /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.2.137/compiler/lib/ia32/{lib**.so, lib**.a }.

( I don't remember the location of <Intel libraries>,
but I don't think they are in /usr/lib(64), rather in /usr/<application>///lib* ?)
