Problem Linking

[davidfarrelly]

Hello,

I am having problems using Lapack on a Dell Linux machine (redhat) with a Xeon chip. I installed mkl and try to compile with ifc using;

ifc -pc80 -cm -w -o test test.f -L/opt/intel/mkl721/lib/64 -lmkl_lapack64 -lmkl_def -lguide -lpthread -O3 -r8 -tpp7

and the error message is

/opt/intel/mkl721/lib/64/libmkl_lapack64.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized

There are no complaints at compilation that subroutines/functions can't be found.

If I use lapack32 then the routines I need cannot be found. I've tried various permutations of "32" and "64" in the above and nothing works.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

David

That's an Itanium library. If you are using a 32-bit compiler, you need those in /lib/32/. If you are running an x86-64 linux, with 64-bit compilers, you need the em64t libraries. You should have 3 directories under mkl721/lib, to cover the 3 varieties. The only use for the /64 directory is where you have an Itanium system where mkl won't install, and you need to copy it over there.

EDITED: Problem solved using;

ifc -i_dynamic -pc80 -cm -w -o test test.f -L/opt/intel/mkl721/lib/32 -lmkl_lapack -lmkl_ia32 -lguide -lpthread -O3 -r8 -tpp7

Again, thanks for the help!

Tim,

Thanks - I still have some problems;

If I do this:

ifc -i_dynamic -pc80 -cm -w -o test test.f -L/opt/intel/mkl721/lib/32 -lmkl_lapack32 -lmkl_def -lguide -lpthread -O3 -r8 -tpp7

the error message on compilation is:

11057 Lines Compiled
/tmp/ifcwhTfKM.o(.text+0x3bc6): In function `syminv_':
: undefined reference to `dsytrf_'
/tmp/ifcwhTfKM.o(.text+0x3c46): In function `syminv_':

: undefined reference to `dsyevx_'
/tmp/ifcwhTfKM.o(.text+0x11a1a): In function `f02abf_':
: undefined reference to `dsyevx_'


whereas if I use the lapack64 in /32 i.e.,


ifc -i_dynamic -pc80 -cm -w -o test test.f -L/opt/intel/mkl721/lib/32 -lmkl_lapack64 -lmkl_def -lguide -lpthread -O3 -r8 -tpp7

it compiles ok, but when I try to run it I get this;

./bnd_linnh3: error while loading shared libraries: libmkl_lapack64.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I'm migrating from 64 bit DEC alphas so sorry to be so naive about how to do all this!

You're very close now. You need to add the path ofdynamic libraries (libmkl_lapack64.so in this case) to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable so that the loader can find them at runtime. The following should work:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/intel/mkl721/lib/32

The mklvars32.sh script is provided in the tools/environment directory of MKL. You could just source this script.
