 Before running the \texttt{configure} script, you should probably edit file \texttt{flags.guess} to make sure that it contains the best compiler options for your system. Known issues or things to check are:

+\item [{\texttt{Intel ifort compiler}}] See if you need to add \texttt{-assume byterecl} for your machine. \textbf{In the case of that compiler, we have noticed that versions dot zero sometimes have bugs or issues that can lead to wrong results when running the code, thus we \emph{strongly} recommend using versions dot one or above (for instance version 13.1 instead of 13.0, version 14.1 instead of 14.0 and so on)}.
 \item [{\texttt{IBM compiler}}] See if you need to add \texttt{-qsave} or \texttt{-qnosave} for your machine.
 \item [{\texttt{Mac OS}}] You will probably need to install \texttt{XCODE}.
