The ABINIT Users Mailing List ( CLOSED )

[Paul Fons <paul-fons@aist.go.jp>]

g95 from www.g95.org is a different development branch of the gnu  
gfortran (officially part of gcc 4.0.2).  For the record, I have had  
no problems compiling abinit with g95 (whereas gfortran failed when I  
tried it a few months ago).  Note that both are under development,  
but g95 is updated on a daily basis, while it seems that gfortran is  
updated at a slower pace (based upon my limited observations).  g95  
has a large list of different analytical codes that it is claimed the  
g95 on www.g95.org can compile.  abinit is one of them.  I can say  
that I have been compiling abinit (in the parallel and serial) forms  
on my Mac g5 system here at work with no troubles whatsoever.  In  
fact, while the earlier 4.6.x had minor compiler errors that were  
trivial to fix (e.g. lines too long, etc.), the latest version  
compiles out of the box with nothing but a few warnings here and  
there.  I am running abinit under mpich2 (from ANL) which also  
compiles out-of-the-box on mac os x as well.  If you have not tried  
the g95 compiler it might be worth giving it a try.
  I do recall Nuno Bandeira noted there were some problems on  
windows a while back, but this may not be the case any more.

p.s. g95 is compiled under gcc 4.0.2 as well and get generate 64 bit  
code as well (handy to use all the memory I stuffed in the G5)
