[Apbs-users] Re: APBS installation

[Nathan A. B. <ba...@ch...>]

Dear Dr. Berjanskii --

Can you tell me when you downloaded the RPM from my site.  I'm
reasonbly sure I compiled the latest version of the RPM with the Intel
7.0 compilers; I'm definitely sure I used the -static-libcxxa flag for
all compilations.  However, I haven't unraveled all the strangeness of
the RPM build routines, so it is possible that something is buggy.

Also, if you have the 7.0 compilers handy, you might want to simply
compile the source yourself.  For PIII, I use the following settings:

export CC='icc'
export CFLAGS='-O3 -tpp6'
export F77='icc'
export FFLAGS='-O3 -tpp6'
export LDFLAGS='-static-libcxa'

Thanks for your interest in APBS.
