[mesa-users] attempt to compile revision 2808 with ifort 11.1/046

[Georgios Magkotsios]

Dear MESA developers,

I am aware that MESA requires the latest compiler versions to compile 
successfully. Unfortunately, our machines have ifort 11.1/046 and gcc 
version 4.4.4. Both fail some tests during installation (ifort in eos 
and gfortran in diffusion modules).

I requested from our support team if they could update the compilers, 
but they would like to confirm first that compilation cannot work under 
any circumstances. With ifort they used some debugging options and see 
the error message below. Could you please explain what this error means, 
and whether you think it is really a compiler problem? Thank you.

Georgios
