[Pw_forum] Compiling problem on itanium2 bull cluster

[Guido Roma]

Dear Federico,

maybe you already solved the problem in the meanwhile, anyway:
I just compiled the 4.0.2 version (pw and pp) with the compiler versions 
10.1.011.
You can switch to them on platine by:
module switch intel/cc/9.1.049 intel/cc/10.1.011
module switch intel/fc/9.1.045 intel/fc/10.1.011
However I had compiled (and used) the 4.0.1 with the previous compiler 
versions that you mention without any problem.

Guido
