[Wien] Error: undefined symbol: __intel_cpu_indicator

[Arunkumar S. Bommannavar]

Peter,

Thank you very much for your time.

Intel support tells me the following:

"The __intel_cpu_indicator and __intel_cpu_indicator_init are defined in libimf.so and not libimf.a, with the new 9.0 compilers. So if you are building your application please don't use the switch -static or -i-static."

I'll keep you posted.

Regards
Arun

I just experimented today with the latest free ifort version (on an P4emt 
system with SUSE 9.3).

using -i-dynamic   and running lapw1c I got exactly the error message 
above.

It can be avoided using 
       -static-libcxa
              Links the Intel libcxa C++ library statically. This option 
              is the opposite of  -shared-libcxa.
(which is from the most recent "man ifort")

The ifort release notes also state, that depending on the memory-model 
(medium or large) -i-dynamic is necessary and -i-static would not work properly.
(Nice that it still links without error, but crashes later.

Thus I would recommend (on em64 systems) NOT to us -i-static.

Regards
