Thank you all for your help. Problem sorted. Elie Date: Thu, 22 Mar 2012 11:13:21 +0100 Subject: Re: [Pw_forum] Fortran compilation error From: abdeslam.hou...@gmail.com To: elie.moujaes at hotmail.co.uk CC: pw_forum at pwscf.org
Dear Elie; As said by Axel, you must have a 90(95)-FORTRAN compiler installed in your machine to configure and install any (the most of) ab initio code. The configure script tells you that !! However, even though you one FORTRAN compiler installed, you may still encounter the error message "Fortran compiler cannot create executables". In this case, try to modify the configure script in QE/install sub-directory by the specifying the right one somewhere in the file. Good luckBest regards ============================================== Dr. Abdesalem HOUARI------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Department of physics, Theoretical Physics LaboratoryUniversity of Bejaia-06000.

I am installing QE on yet another server and when I try to configure using ./configure I get the following error: checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuchecking architecture... ia32checking for ifort... nochecking for pgf90... nochecking for pathf95... no checking for sunf95... nochecking for openf95... nochecking for gfortran... nochecking for g95... nochecking for f90... nochecking for Fortran compiler default output file name... configure: error: Fortran compiler cannot create executablesSee `config.log' for more details. Obviously QE cannot find any of the fortran compilers. I have got gcc but i tried to use options with configure such as ./configure CC=gcc but in vain..I also looked at the config.log file. which is attached to this e-mail but still could not find what is wrong. Any help or guidance is highly appreciated.
