Try to force the compiler version using the --with-fc-version=4.2 option of configure. Should work.

What does "gfortran --version" report?

Dear Anonymous
if your gfortran compiler doesn't understand the march=native option, it is probably quite old and not supported. Anyway you may try to go further by cleaning up the build first (make clean) and reconfigure by appending FCFLAGS="-O2" CFLAGS="-O2" CXXFLAGS="-O2" to the end of your configure line. More info about your processor and compilers version would be welcomed.

Thank you for your help. I try to complier the programm using your suggestions but the errors still exist, my complier is l-fc-p-9.0.021. I want to know if there are other methods to solve this problem.

The 9.0 version of ifort is extremely old, and not supported anymore by Abinit.

The easiest would probably be to install the latest version of ifort, but you may try the following options of configure:

and set FCFLAGS manually.
