Hi,
I have installed mpif77 (a parallel wrapper for the fortran compiler g77) on my dual processor dual core workstation which has RHEL 4 as OS. This compiles and runs just fine.

Now I want to install mpif90 which is the f95 version of mpif77 (I think?). At the moment I am using the 'ifort' (which I have also installed) as the base compiler, hoping that it will compile ok. My make file is as follows:

# MAKEFILE FOR PARALELL EXECUTABLE OBJECT FOR "pards".

F90 = ifort
FFLAGS = -u -O3 -i8 -r8 -align all -check -fast -fp-model fast=1 -funroll-loops

#FFLAGS = -O3 -fno-second-underscore -fno-silent -Wimplicit -Wall
#F90 = /usr/local/encap/mpich-1.2.4..8a-intel/bin/mpif90
#F90LINKER = /usr/local/encap/mpich-1.2.4..8a-intel/bin/mpif90

#LIBS= -lencap -liberty -lptcblas -lgm -lcblas -lblacsCinit -lblacs \
# -lblacsF77init -lscalapack

.SUFFIXES: .f90
.f90.o:
$(F90) $(FFLAGS) -c $<

pards: $(OBJS)
$(F90) $(OBJS) $(FFLAGS) -o pards



There are several problems:

(1) although I have the basic f95 libraries nrtype.f90, nrutil.f90, nr.f90, I have to copy them into the working directory and compile every time together with my source code. This is unsatisfactory -- how do I get it automatically into my codes?

(2) I get a series of warnings (not errors) regarding subroutines in nr.f90. For example,

ifort -u -O3 -i8 -r8 -align all -check -fast -fp-model fast=1 -funroll-loops -c nr.f90
fortcom: Warning: nr.f90, line 953: The type/rank/keyword signature for this specific procedure match es another specific procedure that shares the same generic-name. [FOUR1_SP]
SUBROUTINE four1_sp(data,isign)
---------------------------^
fortcom: Warning: nr.f90, line 1030: The type/rank/keyword signature for this specific procedure matc hes another specific procedure that shares the same generic-name. [FOURROW_SP]
SUBROUTINE fourrow_sp(data,isign)
---------------------------^

What does this mean?

(3) All my subroutines compile ok; but when it is linking all together I get:

Clearly, it is not recognising the mpi parallel instructions, like mpi_comm_rank, and mpi_bcast etc. This is very strange because the mpif77 compiles ok and I hve run parallel codes on my workstation.

This is repeated at the very end,

Questions:
What is going wrong?
Do I have to download mpif90? How do I download and install mpif90?
Do I have to swap from lam_mpi to mpich? (Is there much difference.)

Regards

Ack!!!

First, (or last) LAM is completely different than MPI. There may be some kind of forward compatibility library, but only for the simplest of programs.

Second, (or "(3)") mpif77/mpif90 are essentially MPI macros for running different compilers that you have on your system. What program "mpif77" runs is dependent on your local configuration and some environment variables. Presumably you can change some environment variables to use ifort or f90. But that's not necessary -- just pass ifort the correct options for your MPI fortran header files and library. Doesn't your compute cluster have a local system administrator??

The answer to (1) is simple: you compile your f90 code once, and put the resulting .o files in a directory, say $HOME/objs. Then to include them, pass them to the full paths to the ifort command...
Now maybe you need one version for each compiler version. So you put the F90 version in $HOME/objs/f90/ and use this:
