[CIG-SEISMO] SPECFEM3D install

Tue Jul 12 07:24:12 PDT 2011

Dear all,

I have seen this problem as well (frequently) in the past: it is often 
related to the fact that MPICH uses non standard Fortran95 in one of its 
include files ("mpif.h"), in particular integer*8, also sometimes 
character*1 instead of character(len=1).

Thus the problem comes from MPICH, not from SPECFEM3D.
As mentioned by Bernhard, you can simply remove -e95 from flags.guess
and then rerun "configure".

Dimitri.
