Problems with MKL in Microsoft Visual Studio

nak52 — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 20:42:00 GMT

Hello,
I just got MVS with built in MKL. MKL is linked in the tools>options>fortran>compilers>libraries and includes. As advised I also checked it in project properties>fortran>use intel mkl>parallel

In the subroutine that uses mkl i have
USE MKL95_PRECISION, ONLY: WP => DP
which gives me the following error:
error #7002: Error in opening the compiled module file. Check INCLUDE paths. [MKL95_PRECISION]

Before the USE statement I also inluded:
INCLUDE 'MKL95_PRECISION.mod'
which again didn't help.
What else canI do here?

In your installation ........MKLmakefile should help you create the .mod files, if they aren't already present somewhere such as MKLinclude. You may have to move them to a directory which is already on the default INCLUDE path, or modify the INCLUDE path to cover their present location.

Hi nak52,

- add"includeia32" directoryin the Additional Include Directories window.
- add mkl_lapack95.lib library to the project (ensure "ia32lib is in the 'Additional Library Directories')

More details see in thethread:

Hello Vladimir,
Thanks for the link, I am watching closely that discussion. Regarding things that you mentioned to add, I have done that already. Now I am a bit confused with "add mkl_lapack95.lib to the project". I added the mklia32lib path in the additional library directories, apparently it is not the same as "add mkl_lapack95.lib to the project". I would greatly appreciate if you let me know where exactly I should "add mkl_lapack95.lib to the project".
Thanks for your patience
Natalia

Hello Natalia,

See the document on the web page:
http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/mkl/win/MKL_UG_config_dev_env/Creating_and_Configuring_the_Intel_Visual_Fortran_Project.htm

Step 7.c: In the Property Pages window, select Configuration Properties > Linker > Input. In the right-hand part of the window, select Additional Dependencies and type the libraries required, for example, for =ia32, type mkl_intel_c.lib mkl_intel_thread.lib mkl_core.lib libiomp5md.lib.

Type here mkl_lapack95.lib as well.

Thanks,
Vladimir

The .mod files are in its place. There is something in the installation of mkl thatI am totallly missing. Compared to this installing imsl was a breeze. Still waitingfor some suggestions to make it work.
