simple example

[joleho]

Hi,

I am new in Blas and Lapack and have probably a very simple question. I installed the MKL library 10 and tried to run the example from the User Guide for C++ but I got the error:

g++ -o tmp testblas2.cc -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE -lmkl

testblas2.cc:4: error: declaration of C function `void zdotc(complex16*, int*, complex16*, int*, complex16*, int*)' conflicts with
/opt/intel/mkl/10.0/include/mkl_blas.h:297: error: previous declaration `void zdotc(MKL_Complex16*, int*, MKL_Complex16*, int*, MKL_Complex16*, int*)' here
testblas2.cc:9: error: `main' must return `int'
testblas2.cc: In function `int main(...)':

what is wrong?

You may have a more recent version of g++ than what testblas2 was written for, or the example may not be updated for consistency with MKL 10. It's better to rely entirely on the header file, and remove the conflicting declaration from the example source.

Sorry, its not clear to me what to do?
May icc work for this example?

[TimP]

icc may not be as strict in comparing syntax as the latest g++ is, so it may work.

Forall bloody beginners (like me)having the same problem:

#include "mkl_typse.h"

MKL_Complex16* a;

compile with:

g++ -o tmp testblas.cc -L$MKLPATH -I$MKLINCLUDE -lmkl -lguide -lpthread

then its fine...
