Hello Users
I am new to Abinit Program. I m trying to compile Abinit-6.2.3. on fedora I met with following error when I give command ../configure

Re: compilation problem
The error message is just in the middle of a call to MSG_ERROR - really a vintage function that shouldn't cause any concern. So the offending part probably comes earlier. You said you compiled on a fedora box. What's your gfortran version? Find it with a
Anything that's earlier than gfortran 4.2 is buggy and unsuitable for Abinit.
Cheers,

Re: compilation problem
After typing gfortran -v its showing
gcc version 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat 4.1.2-12)
Kindly suggest a remedy

Re: compilation problem
What happens if you remove the calls to MSG_ERROR in src/66_paw/indgrid.F90
!Check coatofin to make sure there are no zeros!
do ii=1,ubound(coatofin,1)
if (coatofin(ii)==0) then
MSG_ERROR('A zero was found in coatofin.') <<<< remove this line
MSG_ERROR('Check that the fine FFT mesh is finer in each dimension than the coarse FFT mesh.') <<<< and this one
stop
end if
end do
One should check the CPP preprocessed file but I guess that the macro, once expanded, exceeds the standard Fortran limit.

Matteo

Re: compilation problem
gfortran 4.1.2 is really outdated and buggy. Abinit is routinely tested against version 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5. Matteo suggestion may hep you compile despite this apparent gfortran 4.1 bug. I would suggest to install a new fortran compiler. There are several options to do that:
x build a new gcc/gfortan compiler after downloading the source code of gcc-4.4.5 from gcc.gnu.org. There are a few dependencies that should be fulfilled (gmp, mpfr, mpc ...). Nothing really very complicated but definitely takes some time.
x if you are eligible for free license Intel CC and Fortran compilers, dowload the latest 11.1.073 from http://www.intel.com website. Quite a huge download but an efficient compiler. When combined with MKL linear algebra libraries, it will probably produce the fastest binaries.
x I should push the latest Abinit production release binaries on http://www.etsf.eu/resources/software/etsf_software_repository But it will take a few days.
