Error when trying to compile

[cptfisher]

Good Day,

I'm trying to figure out why when I compile from the command line with ifort filename.F90 I receive the follow:
error: can't open file filename.obj for write
compilation aborted for filename.F90

This is my first time working with this and I wanted to know if there are any suggestions.

Thanks,

Chris

You need full permissions in the folder where you are running. Don't try to run in the compiler's own folder, for example.

To add to what Tim says - Windows Vista and later prevent you from writing into any folder under Program Files, even if your user has administrative privileges.

Thank you, that works. Now I get the error 10037 no link. I think I will need to re-install VS2008 to make sure the 64bit tools are installed.

Be sure to read the compiler release notes for instructions on how to install the 64-bit VS tools.
