Hi
I use the Intel Fortran compiler 7.0.14 on my Linux desktop - RH 9.0
(custom compiled kernel 2.4.20, glibc : 2.3.2-11.9).


When I compile *some* of my programs (which worked perfectly for RH 7.3), I
get the following error :

external subroutine FINDINARRAY

155 Lines Compiled
program VELCPROFILE
Comment 2 : In program unit VELCPROFILE format 22 is not used

82 Lines Compiled
/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/lib/libIEPCF90.a(f90fioerr.o)(.text+0x4d3):
In
function `f_f77ioerr':
: undefined reference to `__ctype_b'


A reference to premier.intel.com reveals a cryptic statement that RH 9.0 is
not supported for IFC as ctype definitions are absent in the glibc that
comes with it (or words to that effect).

My question is :

How do I fix it (either glibc or possibly a newer version of ifc) so that I
can compile these few programs ?

Thanks,

MS

Dynamic linking option fixes this in many cases. The compiler updates
haven't caught up with rh9.

I wonder if that suggestion was in earnest. One of the surest ways to screw
up your system is to create glibc incompatibilities.

RHL9 is not on the list of the supported Linux versions for IFC 7.1. There is
an extensive discussion of this issue at

I'll comment that our investigations have revealed that the new pthreads
library in RHL9 has serious bugs that prevent OpenMP from working, and due to
RedHat's new support model, RedHat will probably not release bug fixes for
this "consumer" edition of Linux. At present, we're unaware of a fix
available for the threads bug, but if we become aware of it, we'll let our
customers know.

Thanks for your response. I guess I will have to wait until they do, I can
use the Sun Fortran compiler in the meantime.
