<br>
This still sounds like a compiler incompatibility. Somehow Cactus does<br>
not detect support for range based for statements, which however Intel<br>
2013 claims to support in (search for "range-based", it is item N2930)<br>
<br>

<br>
What does the file config.log (that autoconf points you to for detailed<br>
error messages) contain? It usually is something like<br>
configs/sim/config-data/config.log . The options used for CXXFLAGS (if<br>
those are the ones used) look fine to me.<br>

<br>
Yes, this is a license issue. Note that you may still require -gxx-name<br>
options even for newer Intel compilers (they may default to the system<br>
g++ and system STL otherwise).<br>

<br>
Basically: /usr/lib64/atlas/liblapack.so (the system ATLAS library) has<br>
been compiled with at version of gfortran much older than the one you<br>
are using. This can be fail in particular when involving strings being<br>
passed to Fortran code.<br>

<br>
You may need to set:<br>
<br>
LAPACK_DIR = BUILD<br>
BLAS_DIR = BUILD<br>
<br>
to force the EinsteinToolkit to build its own (slow, but we do not rely<br>
on BLAS / LAPACK for speed) versions of LAPACK and BLAS (or you can try<br>
using OpenBLAS which is faster, but as said, speed of those two is not<br>
really relevant for typical ET simulations).<br>

<br>
Historically we did see slightly faster code with the Intel compiler. I<br>
suspect that similar speeds can be reached using GNU compilers by now<br>
though if one sets -ffast-math and similar options (that Intel<br>
defaults to) in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS (Fortran has some of those<br>
optimizations allowed by the language already so it does not do quite<br>
so much for Fortran code).<br>
<br>
See eg: <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FloatingPointMath" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/FloatingPointMath</a> for an explanation<br>
of the compromises this involves.<br>
