Had a question that you guys might know the answer to. We have been given a 4 processor Itanium box by Intel to have a play with for a few weeks, and we have been (unsucessfully) trying to complie and link MOLPRO 2002 on it. Complier is Intel ifc 7.1 with MKL 6.0 libraries. Code complies fine but at the link stage we get this error message...
ld: /home/chjajf/molpro2002.7/bin/molpros_2002_7.exe: short data segment overflowed (0x75bfd0 >= 0x400000) GNU ld version 2.11.90.0.8 (with BFD 2.11.90.0.8) Supported emulations: elf64_ia64 make: *** [bin/molpros_2002_7.exe] Error 1
It seems there is a 4MB limit on the short data segment, which we have hit. There are a couple of suggested fixes we've tried from bugzilla
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33354
of '-fpic -G' & '-fpic --shared' without success. In fact, the test problem on that page fails. The gcc version we have on the machine is gcc-2.96-118.7.2 which should be OK according to the bugzilla page.
Have you huys come across this problem before, or has Molpro been run on an Itanium based system at all?
Any info appreicated. James.
