Dear Zhang Mike,

Thank you very much ("XieXie") for your detailed report !
It will be very helpful for followers with Linux-clusters.

As suggested by Xin,
could you please elaborate upon your PC-Linux environment ?
(I noticed that the format of "bug report" would be updated.)

          3) Operating system (including version number)
             "uname -a" will work on most platforms.
                  "oslevel" will be preferable on IBM workstations (AIX).

          4) Fortran Compiler (including version number)
             For the compiler version number, type man "compiler command" etc.
             e.g. 
                        pgf90 (PGI compiler on Linux) :  pgf90 -V
                                xlf   (on IBM platform)       :  lslpp -l 

          4') C Compiler (including version number), for CPP information
         e.g.
                                /lib/cpp : "ls -l /lib/cpp" and/or messages 
from "gcc -v *"

My (old) Linux box (Linux 2.2.13, Fujitsu Fortran&C ver.3.0, 
cpp : egcs-2.91.66 (egcs-1.1.2 release), and other version
available in Fujitsu Fortran&C) did not produce any errors like your cases:

>    /lib/cpp -C -DP6 -P tddft.f > tddft_cpp.f
>    hf77 -Mextend -Mfree -O2 -c tddft_cpp.f
>   PGF90-S-0034-Syntax error at or near , (tddft_cpp.f: 55)

So I am wondering which version of cpp would produce such errors ...
It might be a good idea to try other version of cpp (if available).
(Kindly see also, http://www.abinit.org/ABINIT/FAQ.html#cpp )

Thank you also for the information about initsph.f and mkffnl.f.
(NB: The version 3.4.3 should be OK with this viewpoint.)

Good continuation, wishing a happy new year,
