[Wien] Issues Encountered During WIEN2k Installation and Compilation

[Gavin Abo]

It may help to know:

What operating system and version are you using?

Assumption is that you are using the latest WIEN2k 24.1.  If not, what 
version are you using?  For 24.1, have all patches [1] been applied?

As given in you email below with:
Check file   compile.msg   in the corresponding SRC_* directory for the
compilation log and more info on any compilation problem.

The compile.msg file is needed from one of those directories, such as 
SRC_vecpratt, which may help with troubleshooting the problem.  The 
compile.msg file from the others might also be needed if they have 
different error messages in them.
