[mesa-users] pointer error in mtx_support.f

[Warrick Ball]

Hi,

I wouldn't call myself an "active" ifort user: I use the SDK myself. 
However, ifort (versions 13.0 and 12.1) is available on the local systems, 
so I tried compiling MESA using those.  The code compiled successfully 
with both versions.  GCC was version 4.7.0.  Some system details:


> uname -a
Linux gwdu101 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Mar 12 14:18:09 CDT
2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

> cat /etc/issue
Scientific Linux release 6.4 (Carbon)

> echo $OMP_NUM_THREADS
4

This was with MESA 5271 (released a few days ago, IIRC).


That said, I tried some test cases and all ultimately failed at runtime 
because of segmentation faults.  If anyone is interested, I can provide 
more detailed results but I'm just sticking to the SDK myself.


Cheers,
Warrick
