[Wien] opteron compile problem

[stargmoon]

In addition, the newest (?) pgi version 6.1 does not work for WIEN2k. I suffered this problem two or three weeks ago. 
 
 Best,

experience myself last year):

In essence: the pgi compiler (newer versions ?, maybe only 64bit version ?) has
sevire problems with higher optimization (-fast,...) and produces wrong code.

It seems to help to goto  -O0 (or some other lower optimization), but this
will make the code very slow.
Evenutally you should compile everything first with -o0, and later on
graduately test higher opt. (for timeconsuming routines).

Alternatively, install the Intel ifort9.0 compiler, which is faster and 
has less bugs (and is free).
