currently working in IMBH hierarchical mergers in AGN discs, and I think it'd be good for my project to use the code
<b>IllinoisGRMHD</b>, as it considers 3D effects in the GRMHD phenomena around BHs. However, I've found a couple persisting issues at installation. </font></div>

<div>I am attaching config.log as config.log for reference as well, as config-1.log.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I change CC = icc in ubuntu-Intel.cfg to CC = gcc (which afaik my machine has installed), I get the same error message, but with a different config.log (attached as config-2.log), telling me about an unrecognised -align option.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If I remove the -align flag from CFLAGS in ubuntu-Intel.cfg, I get the same error message with another config.log (attached as config-3.log), telling me about a host language not being recognised.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And, lastly, if I change the -xhost flag in CFLAGS to -xc or -xc99, the same thing happens. The config.log file of this last option is attached as config-4.log.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At this point I don't know what else to try to get a running version of IllinoisGRMHD.</div>

</div>
<div>To be honest, I don't really know much about bash yet, so I was hoping you could provide some support about my installation issues. I will be happy to answer any questions necessary.</div>
