How to compile the examples came with MKL? It seems Intel FORTRAN 9.0 fails to recognize Intel MKL 8.0. When I compile the example "get_gglse" in MS Visual Studio .NET, following are the error messages:

------ Build started: Project: get_gglse, Configuration: Debug|Win32 ------

Hi all, I have a simular problem.

Using VS 2003, I created a fortran DLL project. added the fortran files from C:Program FilesIntelMKL8.0exampleslas95source.

I added mkl_blas95.lib and libguide.lib (even tried mkl_c.lib) to additional dependencies.

I get the following error during compile

C:PGEMKLTestdtpsvx.f90(26): Error: Error in opening the Library module file. [MKL95_PRECISION]

C:PGEMKLTestdtpsvx.f90(27): Error: Error in opening the Library module file. [MKL95_BLAS]
etc.

Any ideas what I need to modify?

Thank you,

Eric

Eric,

the Fortran 95 interfaces to BLAS and LAPACK are supplied as sources, it means you need to add them to your project. This is an excerpt from MKL Getting Started:

Fortran-95 interfaces and wrappers are delivered as sources. The simplest way to use them is building corresponding libraries and linking them as user's libraries. To do this, the user is supposed to have administrator rights. Provided the product directory is open for writing, the procedure is simple: go to the respective directory mkl8.1interfaceslas95 or mkl8.1interfaceslapack95 and type one of the corresponding commands.

As a result you will get *.mod files which compiler needs to see while building your project. You can also extract required interfaces from source files (i.e. mkl_blas.f90)

There is one known issue for using mkl_dfti.f90 with Intel Fortran 9.0 compiler. Please see a workaround for this problem:
