For v4.1 and v4.2 , the parts of ABINIT that could not be treated by
the IFC 7.0 compiler have been changed : ABINITv4.1 or v4.2 work with IFC v7.0
(This is not true for ABINITv4.0 or earlier versions).

So, you should be able to fix your problem.
Actually, please have a
look at abinit.f, line 217-225 : it is a matter of a few additional lines -
and if you do the modification, and test it, I would be glad to include these
in the main ABINIT release !

Good continuation,
Xavier
