Problems in running MKL fortran example

[Ding_L_]

Dear all,

After the example fortran code vdrnggaussian.f successfully compiled (in visual studio 2010+Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013), the resulting executable file returns the following error message:

MKL ERROR: Parameter 1 was incorrect on entry to vdRngGaussian.
Error: bad arguments (code    -3).

What should I do to get the right results? Many thanks for your help.

Please state the specific version numbers of the compiler, e.g., Version 14.0.3.202 Build 20140422, the MKL version used, and the options used to build the application.

I built the version of the example included in Composer 2013 SP1, and it ran fine with no errors.

Dear mecej4,

Many thanks for your reply.

The version I am using for the compiler is Intel(R) Visual Fortran Compiler XE 13.1 for Windows (13.1.0.149), and the MKL is Intel(R) Math Kernel Library 11.0 Update 2 for Windows (11.0.2.149).

The project properties are set as follows:

Fortran—>general—>Additional Include Directories:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\mkl\include

Linker—>general—>Additional Library Directories:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Composer XE 2013\mkl\lib\intel64

Linker—>Input—> Additional Dependencies: mkl_intel_ilp64_dll.lib mkl_core_dll.lib mkl_sequential_dll.lib

Looking forward to any further help. Thanks.

I think that you should not have used mkl_intel_ilp64_dll.lib unless you have other settings that make the integer arguments to MKL routines to be 8-byte integers. Use mkl_intel_lp64_dll.lib instead.
