HDF5 1.10.1 compiling error with ifort 18.0.0

Amorim__Ligia · ‎11-01-2017

Sorry to bother you.

I have been trying to compile HDF5 version 1.10.1 (downloaded from https://support.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/release/obtainsrc.html) with (the flags --enable-fortran --enable-shared --with-zlib) the recent intel (64 bit) compilers 18.0.0:

ifort (IFORT) 18.0.0 20170811

I am getting this compilation error:

H5f90global.F90(145): error #7615: Multiple objects from the same EQUIVALENCE set may not appear in a COMMON block. [H5T_NATIVE_INTEGER_KIND]

EQUIVALENCE (predef_types(2), H5T_NATIVE_INTEGER_KIND(2))

--------------------------------^

The same HDF5 source files compiled without errors with the intel fortran compiler:

ifort (IFORT) 17.0.5 20170817

Do you have any suggestions for me to follow to correct it?

Thanks in advance.

For future visitors, I've attached a patch for HDF5 1.10.x

The issue is fixed in the HDF5 'develop' branch and will be in the 1.10.2 release.
