CICE compile error ..stuck with gcc and icc

[wangxiong]

Hey guys. I was trying to compile the CICE on server and encounted with some problems.
The server has both gcc and icc installed and I choose to use the intel compiler. I specify the route of mpif90 and mpicc in the Makefile Macros.

But when I try to compile the model. I got the wrong message as follows.
Somehow the model tries to use gfortran to copile the code instead of intel compiler. And I typed two command in the command window. (which mpif90 and mpif90 --version)
I put the screenshot below. And I feel much more confused. Why the machine can find mpif90 under intel64 directory but returns the GNU related message using mpif90 --version command. Is it possible that I can use "export XXX = ifort" to tell the machine I want to use intel compiler or any other way to solve this problem?
Tkanks. Any suggestion may be helpful.

Hi wangxiong, my guess is you are missing some environment configuration in the file env.<machine>_<compiler>. The Intel compiler will need to be "activated" before it can be used, through a module load command or similar, or by sourcing a script provided by Intel with the installation. Your local IT people (who manage this server) might know more about the required syntax in your case.

Once the compilation environment is correctly specified in the env file, you should not have to use paths, but only the command names in the the Macros file (mpif90, mpicc). Note also that LD is the linker and should be set to the same thing as the Fortran compiler, so LD = $(FC) should be left as is.
