Decades ago, I had a colleague who had a prominently displayed plaque that said:
Engineering is Precision Guesswork
That bit of wisdom prompts me to observe that there was no "problem with linking", as reported in this thread.
The Abaqus verification batch file caused a short Fortran program to be generated, compiled, linked and run. The run, however, did not produce the expected result, and this mishap can have had a number of reasons.
You may inspect the log file user_std.log for more details that may or may not add to the confusion, but nothing divulged so far indicates that there was any "problem with linking" in the sense that any user of Intel Fortran is likely to think of.
