ZGESDD example does not run with MKL, runs well with vecLib

Hello,

I am having problems using the Singular Value Decomposition routine from LAPACK, specifically ZGESDD.

The error even appears with the example given in the Intel page:

http://software.intel.com/sites/products/documentation/hpc/mkl/lapack/mkl_lapack_examples/zgesdd_ex.f.htm

The compilation goes as

[bash]$ ifort -L/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/084/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t -I/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/084/Frameworks/mkl/include -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread lapacktest.f 
$ ./a.out

MKL ERROR: Parameter 13 was incorrect on entry to ZGESDD

[/bash]

If, however, I compile with the vecLib framework, everything goes well:

[bash]$ ifort -framework vecLib lapacktest.f 
$ ./a.out

[/bash]

As you can see from the examples I am using version 11.1.084. I used to have version10.0.4.022, until I had to change because I switched to Snow Leopard (version 10.6.2). I briefly installed XCode 3.2.2 but then uninstalled because it broke the Ifort compiler,I then put 3.2 again. Now gcc gives me

[bash]$ gcc -v

Any ideas?

Hi,

Please add -i8 option (to use INTEGER*8 by default) because namely ILP64 -> -lmkl_intel_ilp64library is used or try -lmkl_intel_lp64
