[Users] Compiling problem on Teragrid

[John Shalf]

Hi,
different versions of the intel compiler end up having different 
library link requirements.  Not all of them are apparently captured by 
the Cactus configuration logic.  You can safely remove the libsvml.a 
from the NCSA side compilation and remove the ifcore from the Caltech 
side in order to get it to compile.  You do this by editing
	Cactus/configs/<yourconfigname>/config-data/make.config.defn
Just do a search for svml (probably in the LIBS list) and remove it.  
You can do the same for ifcore.

Now, this will get things to build, but it does raise one concern.  It 
appears that you are using two different versions of the intel 
compilers.  The libifcore.a is associated with version 8.x of the intel 
compilers (ifc) and the libsvml is associated with version 7.x of the 
intel compilers.  You should make some attempt to use the same compiler 
version on both systems.  If they are using the 'modules' packaging 
system, you should take a look at which modules are available before 
you proceed.
