[Pw_forum] Compilation error on IBM Power4 P690 under AIX 5.2

[Maria K Chan]

Hi everybody,

I am trying to compile pwscf on the San Diego Supercomputing Center's 
DataStar, which consists of IBM P690's and P655's with AIX5.2, using 
Axel Kohlmeyer's Make.power5-aix-parallel/serial.  A series of 
iotk_**.f90 compile successfully, and then the error message below is given:

ar: 0707-101 k is not a valid flag.

Google doesn't know about this error.

Can someone give some pointers?

Much obliged,
Maria Chan
