IMSL causing a Internal compiler error

[Ray_R_1]

I am running IVF 11.1.038, on a dual Xeon processor machine using Windows XP x64 Pro. I have a small test program that uses the IMSL linear_operator module to invert a 3x3 matrix. When I compile the program with the IA32 compiler every thing goes well. When I try using the INTEL64 compiler I get an internal compiler error. Any idea what is going on?

Yes, very much so. The Intel 64 LINEAR_OPERATORS module is bad. I will send you an email tomorrow with a good one attached.

Steve, thank you, that would be great!!

Thank youSteve, that did the trick.

I am trying to use IMSL in the platform Centos 6.3 and Intel Fortran 13.0. I am wondering which of the following version will probably be suitable for the compiler.

• AIX 6.1.2.0, XL Fortran 12.1, IBM POWER 64-bit
• Linux x32, Intel Fortran 12.0, x86-32
• Linux x64, Intel Fortran 12.0, x86-64
• Red Hat Linux 5, Intel Fortran 11.1.064, x86-32
• Red Hat Linux 5, Intel Fortran 11.1.072, AMD64
• Red Hat Linux 5, Intel Fortran 11.1.072, x86-64
• Red Hat Linux 6.1, Intel Fortran 12.1, x86-64
• Solaris 10, 64-bit, Sun Studio 12.1, AMD64
• Solaris 10, Parallelnavi 3.2, SPARC 64-bit
• Solaris 10, Sun Studio 12.0, SPARC 64-bit
• SUSE Linux 11, Intel Fortran 11.1.064, x86-32
• SUSE Linux 11, Intel Fortran 11.1.072, AMD64
• SUSE Linux 11, Intel Fortran 11.1.072, x86-64
• SUSE Linux 11, Portland Group 10.2-0, AMD64
• SUSE Linux 11.2, Intel Fortran 12.1, 13.1, x86-64

when I run my fortran program, I encountered the following problem:

internal error: Please visit 'http://www.intel.com/software/products/support' for assistance.
      CALL LSARG(A,B,X) 
^
[ Aborting due to internal error. ]
compilation aborted for fnl.f (code 1)

Is it due to incompatibility?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

No, that would be a compiler bug. Would you please attach the source you were using, and also show us the ifort command line you used?

I will comment that 13.0 is not the current version.

As I understand your question, you're buying IMSL direct from the vendor, not as part of an Intel software package, so this may not be the best place to ask.  However, a library intended for RHEL 6.1 and ifort 12.1 ought to be suitable for CentOS 6.3 with ifort 13.0.  Note that Intel doesn't designate CentOS as "supported" for Intel Fortran even though CentOS 6.3 ought to work identically with Red Hat EL 6.3 as far as these products are concerned.  

Intel Fortran 12.1 and 13.0 are somewhat outdated, but the release notes don't distinguish between Red Hat 6.0 and 6.3 where they state prerequisites.  As long as you have to ask the IMSL vendor, you might consider a newer Fortran such as 13.1.192.  They ought to be able to answer, since they support 13.1 for SLES.

Nevertheless, an internal compiler error is always a compiler bug. I will check this out (info on the source and options has been provided to me.)
