Installation of vasp6.4 with hdf5

[scanmat_centre]

I have installed hdf5.1.8.22 with mpiicc and mpiifort compilers in my computer. all the libraries and include files are in the directory of /home/scanmat/hdf5.

Then I made a makefile.include with the above path.

# Default precompiler options

-Duse_bse_te \
-Dtbdyn \
-Dfock_dblbuf

FC = mpiifort
FCL = mpiifort

FFLAGS = -assume byterecl -w

OFLAG = -O2
OFLAG_IN = $(OFLAG)
DEBUG = -O0

OBJECTS = fftmpiw.o fftmpi_map.o fftw3d.o fft3dlib.o
OBJECTS_O1 += fftw3d.o fftmpi.o fftmpiw.o

When I do make all i am facing the error

Can anyone help me with this.

Dear scanmat_centre,

Seems something is wrong with either the compilers or preprocessors. Are you sure you are using the correct ones in your flags?

I say this because c_f_pointer should be an intrinsic routine in both Intel and gcc distributions.

Kind regards,
Pedro Melo

Dear scanmat_centre,

the error you see might be related to hdf5. I suggest using one of the supported versions listed on our wiki page.
Also, make sure to compile your hdf5 with mpi-support by configuring with --enable-parallel.
