Dear all, I meet the following problems,

configure: error: in `/home/ld/software/abinit/abinit-6.12.1/fallbacks/sources/etsf_io-1.0.4':
configure: error: Fortran compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make[3]: *** [stamps/etsf_io-config-stamp] Error 77

make: *** [all] Error 2

I checked the config.log in /fallbacks, and I found:
gcc version 4.6.2 (SUSE Linux)
configure:3756: $? = 0
configure:3745: gcc -V >&5
gcc: error: unrecognized option '-V'
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.
configure:3756: $? = 1
configure:3745: gcc -qversion >&5
gcc: error: unrecognized option '-qversion'
gcc: fatal error: no input files
compilation terminated.

After I change gcc to ifort, it neglected the unrecognized option '-V', but the error no input files is still there.

Thanks.

These failures are perfectly normal, since each compiler has its own way of providing its version.

What you have to look for is the last occurence of the word "failed" in config.log. It is the one which will tell you why your build fails.
