MSC Marc and ifort

Hi all,
I am trying to use a commercial software MSC Marc with ifort [user subroutine].
ifort is working because I am able to compile a dummy fortran file.
When I try to compile an user suborutine with Marc it gives me this error:

/home/username/MSC/2014.2/marc2014.2/lib/linux64i8/casilib.a(unicodeutils.o): In function `CASI_tmpnam':
unicodeutils.c:(.text+0x1b): warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
ld: /home/username/MSC/2014.2/marc2014.2/lib/linux64i8/ACSI_MarcLib.a(Build_MarcLib.o): undefined reference to symbol '_ZNSt14basic_ofstreamIcSt11char_traitsIcEE4openEPKcSt13_Ios_Openmode@@GLIBCXX_3.4'
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
/home/username/MSC/2014.2/marc2014.2/tools/run_marc: link failed for /home/username/Downloads/stuff.o
.

I don't understand the 'DSO missing from command line'.
The exact same subroutine works flawlessly under Windows.

Thanks

Re: MSC Marc and ifort

Maybe this can help:

ld: cannot find -lVT
ld: cannot find -ldwarf
/home/user/MSC/2014.2/marc2014.2/tools/run_marc: link failed for /home/user/Downloads/stuff.o

Installing libdwarf solved "ld: cannot find -ldwarf".
libvt is part of openmpi, but even after I install openmpi it continues to give this error.

Re: MSC Marc and ifort

About the problem in the first post, you also have to add -lstdc++

Re: MSC Marc and ifort

Even if installing libstdc++5:

ls -al /usr/lib | grep libstdc++
-rw-r--r--   1 root root  5301776 Aug  5 13:36 libstdc++.a
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       19 Aug  7 14:09 libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.6.0.21
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       18 Apr 28  2014 libstdc++.so.5 -> libstdc++.so.5.0.7
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root   820368 Apr 28  2014 libstdc++.so.5.0.7
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root       19 Aug  7 14:09 libstdc++.so.6 -> libstdc++.so.6.0.21
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 11550024 Aug  7 14:09 libstdc++.so.6.0.21

I got the same error.

Re: MSC Marc and ifort

Not simply installing, you should add it to linker command line (it has the symbol your compilation missing in the first post). icc/ifort don't link to GCC libraries automatically.

Even if I type:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib/

or

ldconfig /usr/lib/

gives same error.

Re: MSC Marc and ifort

In case this issue is not yet resolved, I have come across a similar problem with the RedHat version of MSC.Marc 2014.2 on an Ubuntu installation.

As indicated by #Goresome, the linker option needs to be added to the command line.  However, with Marc, this is not controlled explicitly by the user but is set from a configuration file "include_linux64" (or "include" if you're 32 bit) within the Marc "tools" directory, which is called by the "run_marc" script when user subroutine compilation is flagged.

You need to change the line

LINK_OPT= 

to

 LINK_OPT="-lstdc++"

Depending on how you installed Marc, you may need root permissions to change the "include_linux64" file.

This worked for me. 

P.S. I had another issue with some preprocessor directives in one of the common blocks but that is another story and should be unrelated to the linking issue.
