How to link BLAS lib--beginner question

[CO_Traut]

Hi, folks

I wrote a simple test code to learn how to link kml lib Mac (Mac OS X 10.5.7). The function I want to call is 'dgetrf'. But error message tells me lib files can not be found. Is that because of my path setting?

Thx much.

The command link is :

ifort myprog.f -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE

$MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_lp64.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_sequential.a

$MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_intel_lp64.a

$MKLPATH/libmkl_sequential.a $MKLPATH/libmkl_core.a -lpthread

Error msg is :

ifort: error #10236: File not found: '/libmkl_core.a'

ifort: error #10236: File not found: '/libmkl_intel_lp64.a'

ifort: error #10236: File not found: '/libmkl_sequential.a'

ifort: error #10236: File not found: '/libmkl_core.a'

Undefined symbols:

"_dgetrf_", referenced from:

_MAIN__ in iforttH1bZs.o

ld: symbol(s) not found

My environment filemklvarsem64t.sh is:

#! /bin/sh

export MKLROOT="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/058/Frameworks/mkl"

if [ -z "${INCLUDE}" ]

then

export INCLUDE="${MKLROOT}/Headers"

Hi,
Seems you do not set your $MKLPATH environment variable from your script file, so that the actual option passing to compiler is /libmkl... which cannot be recognized.

MKL's scripts (mklvarsem64t.sh etc.) set neither $MKLPATH nor $MKLINCLUDE variables. Nevertheless, the user guide uses them extensively in numerous examples. In my view, this approach is misleading. Especially for new users.

I'm going to move this thread to the MKL forum.

Yes, when I read through the userguild.pdf, I found $MKLPATH and $MKLINCLUDE are used quite often. However, I did not find the corresponding defination inmklvarsem64t.sh andmklvars.sh.Now my question is how to use the environment variables set in the two files to use MKL lib.

Hi,

Right, you can define them by enter command
export MKLINLCUDE="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/058/Frameworks/mkl/Headers"
export MKLPATH="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/058/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"
or
replace the $MKLINCLUDE and $MKLPATH by${MKLROOT}/INCLUDE and ${MKLROOT}/lib/em64t in command line.

Just for your information:
MKL provide some example codes under "examples" directory, you can test it.
for example,
>cd /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/examples/lapack (i'm using compiler 11.1.046 version)
>make libem64t function=dgetrf
make dgetrfx.res EXT=a _IA=em64t PLATF=em64t RES_EXT=lib
mkdir -p ./_results/intel_lp64_parallel_em64t_lib
ifort -w source/dgetrfx.f "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_intel_lp64.a "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_intel_thread.a "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_core.a "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_intel_thread.a "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_core.a "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_intel_thread.a "/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t"/libmkl_core.a -L"/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/Frameworks/mkl/lib/em64t" -liomp5 lib/libaux_em64t_intel.a -lpthread -o _results/intel_lp64_parallel_em64t_lib/dgetrfx.out
and run it
