[Pw_forum] Problems trying to compile PW using PGI 17.4 compilers

[Reinaldo Pis Diez]

Dear folks,

Before trying to install a gpu-enabled version of QE-6.1, I'm trying 
to install a cpu-only version using the Portland Group compilers 
(version 17.4). I must say that I have successfully installed QE 
several times before using GNU compilers, but it is my first attempt 
with the pgi ones.

I've used the following configure under CentOs 6.6:

./configure MPIF90=/opt/pgi/linux86-64/17.4/mpi/openmpi/bin/mpif90 
CC=/opt/pgi/linux86-64/17.4/bin/pgcc 
F77=/opt/pgi//linux86-64/17.4/bin/pgf77 --with-scalapack=yes 
BLAS_LIBS="-L/opt/pgi/linux86-64/17.4/lib -lblas" 
LAPACK_LIBS="-L/opt/pgi/linux86-64/17.4/lib -llapack" 
SCALAPACK_LIBS="-L/opt/pgi/linux86-64/17.4/lib/scalapack/scalapack-2.0.2/openmpi-1.10.2/lib 
-lscalapack" FFT_LIBS="-L/usr/lib64 -lfftw3"

and after making "make pw" I've got the following error messages

/opt/pgi/linux86-64/17.4/mpi/openmpi/bin/mpif90 -fast -r8 
-Mcache_align -Mpreprocess -D__PGI -D__FFTW3 -D__MPI -D__SCALAPACK

Any hints to overcome the errors are welcome. I can send any other 
information if needed.
