illegal value in DESCINIT and PSGESV

I am new to scaLapack and I am trying to execute the program ex1.c in this link:

http://geco.mines.edu/software/mkl/index.shtml

when I run it, these two messages are printed: "DESCINIT parameter number 9 had an illegal value", "and PSGESV parameter number 1 had an illegal value". 
I don't see why those values are illegal, can someone help? Thanks.

Are you talking about psgesv.f90 example?   How did you build this case and how did you run then?   Do you still use MKL v.11?

No I am talking about ex1.c. The program doesn't take any input, all variables are defined within the main. I simply compiled it using mpiicc as follows:

 

mpiicc  -DMKL_ILP64 -I${MKLROOT}/include ex1_scalapack.c -o ex1_scalapack -L${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64 -lmkl_scalapack_ilp64 -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lmkl_blacs_intelmpi_ilp64 -lpthread -lm -ldl 

 

Since the code is designed to run using 4 processing cores, I ran it as:

mpirun -np ./ex1_scalapack

the program prints the two error messages that I said in the first post. 
Thank you!

meawiile , can quickly check if the problem still exists in the case if you will use LP64 API instead on ILP64?

-lmkl_scalapack_lp64 -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lmkl_blacs_intelmpi_lp64 -lpthread -lm -ldl
