As I said, I'm using an Intel Xeon cluster. I'm using ifort9 and the
cluster-mkl8 (which includes scalapack). This cluster has infiniband
from "topspin" and the corresponding libraries.

PS: I've mentioned this several times: I had quite bad experience with 
pgi6.0 compiler and basically abandoned it.It gave me unreliable or slightly
wrong results in several places.
