Equivalent of -lPEPCF90 in the latest versions of ifort

[hannaajaz]

Hi
I was trying to compile a scientic package (which is written for ifort7 compiler) with ifort 11. It ended up with the error "ld: cannot find -lPEPCF90". I found that this library is absent from the version 8. I tried Vaxlib also. But it was of no use. Is there a way to get the older version preferably ifort7? Could anyone help me....
I also appreciate if anyone can suggest a way to use the 11 th version to compile the package. Thanks in advance.





Regards and thanks

IFort 11 would not have looked for libPEPCF90 by itself, it was probably directed to do so by a make or some other build process.

My suggestion is to try removing the reference to that library from the makefile (or other build script, as appropriate). A build attempt after doing that will either succeed, in which case you are done, or will report missing externals, in which case we can see about replacements for the library routines.

It would be helpful if you turn on verbose mode and report the linker command line.

I urge that you consider a reversion to Version 7 as a last resort.

That library was from Intel Fortran 7.0 and earlier, as you note. That is no longer available. The package you have needs to be recompiled with a current ifort. There is no alternative to this.
