Dear Abinitioners,

Anybody successfully compiled ABINIT with Intel Fortran Compiler v.8.0 
(e.g., l_fc_p_8.0.034) on a Linux-base Pentium*-Box ? 
If so, the executable run with all the Test_*/Tutorial jobs successfully ?

I have checked the forum archive, and found such a question post, which has 
not been responded... 
(http://www.abinit.org/wws/arc/forum/2004-03/msg00026.html)

Please let me mention my trial with ABINIT v.4.3.3.
---------------
Result of "uname -a" on the target machine: 
Linux scc 2.4.24 #1 Tue Jan 6 18:40:10 JST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Result of "ifort -V"
Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 8.0   Build 
20040412Z Package ID: l_fc_pc_8.0.046

And my 1st (relevant) options in makefile_macros
(based on "Machine_dept_files/Intel_P6/makefile_macros.IFC_v7trial"):

FC=/opt/intel_fc_80/bin/ifort
FFLAGS=-FR -O1 -xW -tpp7 -Vaxlib -static
FFLAGS_Src_2psp =-FR -O0 -xW -tpp7  -Vaxlib -static
FFLAGS_Src_3iovars =-FR -O0 -xW -tpp7 -Vaxlib -static
FFLAGS_Src_Src_6response =-FR -O0 -xW -tpp7 -Vaxlib -static
FFLAGS_Src_9drive =-FR -O0 -xW -tpp7  -Vaxlib -static
FFLAGS_LIBS= -O3 -xW -tpp7 -Vaxlib -static
LIBS=$(LAPACK) $(BLAS) -L/opt/intel_fc_80/lib/ -lsvml -lcxa -Vaxlib -static

So far, I forget about MKL. (Later I will like to try with the library.)
The option "-static" may not be needed in general.

With the above options, Test_fast,v1,v2,v3 were successful, 
many of Test_v4 failed. So I tried with 
FFLAGS=-FR -O0 -xW -tpp7 -Vaxlib -static
(i.e. no optimization test ...)

Still, several tests faild:
- t42 of Test_v4
 pspatm: atomic psp has been read  and splines computed
forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
Image              PC        Routine            Line        Source            
 
abinis             08AABAD1  Unknown            Unknown     Unknown
... (snip the similar error lines) ...
The t43-45 of Test_v4 tests are thus to be checked ...

In passing, it is interesting to note that the IFC v.8.0 may not 
work for ABINIT on a Pentium-III Linux box. Following the above
spirit(i.e. "-O1 -xK -tpp6 -Vaxlib" etc.), I compiled the ABINIT 
on a P-III box, and noticed that I could not run abinis successfully
even with "make tests". Jobs using Troullier-Martins PPs may fail.(!?)

Thus, I would appreciate information about IFC v.8.0.
(Because the older versions of IFC (v.7.1) do not appear available
on the Intel web sites...) 
Such information exchange might be welcome by the subscribers.

Thanks for reading,
