[gmx-users] pointer errors when compiling parallel mdrun with intel compiler

[Lubos Vrbka]

hi guys,

would please anybody suggest how to solve the following problem? i am 
really hopeless... single processor version compiled without any 
problems. for both, i use intel compiler version 9.1.

thank you in advance for any hints. i personally don't see any problem 
in assigning pointer to void to pointer to some other type, but it seems 
that this compiler has another attitude :( unfortunately i cannot use 
anything else and need to get gromacs running.

if you are interested what 'mpiFCC -compiler intel' does:
icpc -L/opt/intel/fc/9.1.033/lib -L/opt/FJSVpnple/lib 
-L/opt/FJSVpnidt/lib -L/opt/FJSVplang/lib -L/opt/FJSVplang/lib -lmpi_i++ 
-lmpi_i -lfjgmp64 -ljrm -lfjidt -lifcore -lpthread -lrt -ldl

regards,
lubos
