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

[Reinaldo Pis Diez]

After googling a while I've found the answer. The problem could be 
due to an old version of binutils or to not setting the -tp flag to 
the compiler. After setting -tp=p7 in the different FLAGS variables 
in make.inc now I' ve got the program (pw.x) running.

Regards,

Reinaldo
