Hi, I’m trying to compile CMAQ-5.2. CMAQ I use the ifort compiler. The Intel MPI version is 2018.3.222. But error occurs while compiling the ICON process. In ICON step, I get the following error. if ( 0 ) then unalias mv rm if ( 1 || ! -f /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe ) then cd /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/scripts ./bldit\_bldmake.csh rm: cannot remove `/disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe’: No such file or directory ld: cannot find -lmpifort _ **ERROR** _ BLDMAKE Compile failed endif set Blder = /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe -serial -verbose cd /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/PREP/icon/scripts/BLD\_ICON\_v52\_profile\_intel if ( 0 ) then if ( 1 ) then /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe -serial -verbose ICON\_v52\_profile.cfg.bld /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe: Command not found. else endif mv Makefile Makefile.intel mv: accessing `Makefile.intel’: Too many levels of symbolic links if ( 1 != 0 ) then echo \*\*\* failure in /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe -serial -verbose \*\*\* \*\*\* failure in /disk1/scl/CMAQ/CMAQ-5.2/UTIL/bldmake/bldmake\_intel.exe -serial -verbose \*\*\* exit 1 Is anyone willing to help me? ---

…and presumably you have already successfully built the CCTM? In any case: since ICON is not a MPI-parallel program, you do not need to be using the MPI compiler-set to build it; you would do just as well with “normal” _ifort_ and `BIN`-type `Linux2_x86_64ifort` ---

Thanks for your reply, The first thing I compiled was the CMAQ icon section. I just tried to compile CCTM first, but the same problem occurred, lmpifort could not be found.

In addition,I connected MPI path under CMAQ\lib. After this error, I changed it to mpich path and recompiled CCTM, but it still didn’t work. Still no lmpifort found. I don’t know how to solve it ---

You probably need to talk with your systems administrator about your MPI installation. With Intel compilers, there are three possibilities, each of which is incompatible with the others: 1. Native Intel MPI, which has its own libraries; 2. MPICH built around Intel (in which case, the compiler _mpif90_ is a “wrapper” around ifort that understands what and where its libraries are; and 3. OpenMPI built around Intel (in which case, the compiler --still _mpif90_ – is a “wrapper” around ifort that understands what and where its libraries (which have a different set of names) are. Then you need to modify your _Makefile_ to suit.
