I need help compiling on OS X. When I run the configure script I get the message:
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| About the Intel Fortran compiler |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| Your compiler will work properly only if the LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
| and INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variables are correctly |
| set-up. Please make sure that this is the case before |
| building ABINIT. |
| |
| In most cases it means sourcing a script in the Intel |
| compiler install directory, e.g.: |
| |
| . /opt/intel/fc/9.1/bin/ifortvars.sh |
| |
| for a Bourne-like shell (do not forget the leading dot), or |
| |
| source /opt/intel/fc/9.1/bin/ifortvars.csh |
| |
| for a C-like shell. |
| |
| If you do not know what this is all about, please refer to |
| the Intel documentation or ask your system administrator. |
| |
| Please note that the same holds for the Intel C and C++ |
| compilers. |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+
'make' then fails with several error messages.
Any ideas?
TIA

Re: compile on OS X
1) read the netiquette http://forum.abinit.org/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=251 about how to post with full information so we can diagnose the problem.
2) the message you did post is just a warning that you need to configure your environment properly to use the compiler, nothing to worry about.

PS: we compile on MAC OSX several times a day with gfortran, no problem. ifort, I don't know.

Re: compile on OS X
We definitely need much more details about your OSX setup - what did you do to configure, what compiler and MPI lib do you have, any Fink or MacPorts installation in your path, what's the error message????
If the error message mentions missing directories, retry with an "export MDKIR=mkdir -p" before the configuration step. Abinit won't compile with Apple provided MPI libs so test it with a "--disable-mpi" if you have a working MPI setup.
I have tested Abinit under OSX with ifort 11.0 and openMPI 1.3 up to versions 5.9.x with success. For the 6.0.x, I don't know ... no Intel license anymore - I'm looking for a sponsor
Kind regards,
Alain
