I compiled abinip in a similar machine (Itanium2 biprocessor with RedHat Advanced Server 3.0), using as well makefile_macros.IFC_mikami. The fortran compiler is Intel's efc. For implementation of parallelism, I had installed MPICH version 1.2.6. For the compilation of abinip, I just needed to make the following:

a) make a link to the system MPI mpi.f file, as said in the instructions. In my case this was made with:

  ln -s /usr/local/mpich-1.2.6/include/mpif.h mpif.h

b) In the makefile_macros:

  -adjust the fortran compiler definition (FC) to the mpif90 generated in the installation of MPI.

  -uncomment (remove #) the definitions of flag variables (FFLAGS, etc.) which contain -parallel, and comment out their alternatives

  -change, if necessary, the directory name mpich-intel for the appropriate one (in my case it was mpich-1.2.6) where it appears (3 times).

Then "make abinip" ran more or less OK; some warnings appeared but the result seems correct (it works).

Good luck,
