open TELEMAC-MASCARET The mathematically superior suite of solvers

I was ust about to ask you to try gfortran.
Here for the record if you wish to try ...

On my 8Gb Win7 64bit laptop, I use the gfortran compiler (4.8.0 from equation solution), the mpich2 1.4.1p1-win-x86-64.msi and the METIS form the download area -- and it works fine.

I could not compile on my other laptop, 2Gb WinXP 32bit, with Intel Fortran compiler and I assumed it was either because of 32bit or because of the RAM.

From what you were saying, it could actually have been the Intel Fortran Compiler itself ... I would have asked you try to download / install gfortran instead, and compile on your same system ...

Here is the link gfortran: www.equation.com/servlet/equation.cmd?fa=fortran
from which you can download: gcc-4.8.1-64.exe

Here is the link to mpich2: www.mpich.org/downloads/versions/
from which you can download: mpich2-1.4.1p1-win-x86-64.msi

And the METIS from our download area ...

If you have the time, it would be nice to compare performance (compilation and run)

Thanks for the feedback.

I have used the same METIS and MPICH2 as yourself. My Intel fortran problem was solved by running the visual studio batch script before running telemac from the command line (or just using the intel 64 visual studio .. command line). You might want to add something about this to the installation instructions, as typing

> ifort -v

in my command line works, but it isn't actually possible to compile hello world. If I have time, I will try and do a comparison with gfortran.

Thanks
