I know from bitter experience that the intel IBM compilers are not compatible with 
gcc-compiled libraries - if you are going to use the IBM compiler then you have to 
recompile EVERYTHING.

We ended up going with compilers from the Portland Group for that very reason.

Later,

Subject: [Fink-users] IBM fortran compiler


Dear Chuck et al:

Although I was able to compile with the IBM fortran compiler on my G4, 
I immediately ran into runtime errors.  In my case the program was CNS 
(crystalllography and NMR system).  A colleague had compiled this and 
the NMR parts indeed to run much faster.  However, for the 
crystallography programs, suddenly my space group operators no longer 
formed a symmetry group.  I decreased the optimization levels to 0 but 
the problem did not go away.  I've compiled this program with GCC/g77 
v. 3.1 and MIPS compilers and others have used probably a half dozen 
fortran compilers on various unix flavors without this sort of problem. 
   I'm not an expert, but  it seems like there might be major but subtle 
problems with the IBM fortran compiler even if you do get it to compile 
your code.

FWIW these are the optimization flags that were used for the initial 
compile:

-O5 -qarch=ppcv -qtune=auto -qalign=4k -w -qfixed=132

HTH,
