Convert compaq fortran to intel fortran error numerical_libraries - fortran

I am try to convert compaq fortran to intel fortran code.
I install "intel parallel studio XE 2011 SP1 for windows"
I am using visual studio 2010.
I create new empthy fortran project and add my only file "x.for"
when Build I get the error : "error #7002: Error in opening complied module file. check INCLUDE path [numerical_libraries].
In the code the line is :
USE numerical_libraries
I try to search for the "numerical_libraries" or IMSL library but I can't find it install on my pc, where should I find it?
How can I fix this bug.

That use statement certainly suggests that your program is looking for an installation of the IMSL numerical libraries and the error message is telling you that the compiler can't find the file numerical_libraries.mod. Since the IMSL libraries are a paid-for and optional
component the most likely explanation is that you have not paid for and installed those libraries.
If you have, contact IMSL for some help, that's one of the things you pay for.
If you have not installed those libraries then the easy solution is to pay for them and install them. Intel is one source, RogueWave is another.
A more difficult solution is to identify the IMSL routines which your program calls, and to replace those calls with calls to routines that you do have code for, either from another source or from your own efforts.
EDIT in response to OP's comment.
OK, if you do have the libraries you need to do 2 things:
Tell the compiler where to find the .mod file it needs. In Visual Studio open the project properties page, navigate to the Fortran/General sub-page and insert the path to numerical_libraries.mod into Additional Include Directories.
Tell the linker where to find the binaries to link to. In the project properties page open the Linker/General sub-page, put the path to the binaries (either .lib or .dll files) into Additional Library Directories. On the Linker/Input page include the libraries you want to link to under the heading Additional Dependencies.
Then, as they say, Bob's your mother's brother.

Library installation using compiler

I have been writing C++ code snippets sporadically to speed things up in R via Rcpp, but now I would like to do more using Armadillo library, but I am having trouble installing it.
The README file instructs to create a location for "include" folder and tell your compiler to use that location for header files (in addition to the locations it uses already).
If I save the "include" folder into C:\Users\me\Documents\ARMADILLO, then how do I instruct the compiler to use the appropriate location?
After some search, I tries typing into command line the following (after prompt: C:\Users\me>):
g++ Documents\ARMADILLO\include, but it did not work ("permission denied"). I hence wonder how this should be done.
Moreover, the README file finally instructs to: Configure your compiler to link with LAPACK and BLAS - I would very much appreciate an advice how this should be done as well.
Thanks a lot!
PS: I have Windows 7 and VS Express 2013 for Desktop.
Visual Studio uses solutions which are containers of projects. Each project has a settings page (right click the project in the Solution Explorer window). Under "Configuration properties" there's a VC++ Directories page, which in turn lists "Include Directories". Append ;C:\Users\me\Documents\ARMADILLO
BTW, I find it useful to put such libs under C:\libs\. Saves on path length.

unable to compile examples in ODEINT package

I am trying to solve a coupled set of ODE's in C++, and I have decided that I want to try out odeint (available here) as I have read many good things about it. However I am having compiling the examples that are included in the package. Here is the situation:
So far I have only downloaded the package and extracted it. I am running Visual C++ 6 on Windows XP and I am compiling the example "simple1d". I get the error message: "Cannot open include file: 'boost/config.hpp': No such file or directory".
It is not clear to me what I am missing. Do I need the full boost library to make this work? I was under the impression that ODEINT is a "standalone" package.
Your error says that compiler can not find the boost libraries. You should download them from boost.org and also add them to your header path.
Where did you download and extract the package to? The package homepage says that it's a header-only package, so you only need to let Visual find the header files. I haven't used Visual in a while, but a quick google of something like "Visual 6 add header path" should be a good place to start. Take a look at Where does Visual Studio look for C++ header files?.
Quoting from this page:
Within Visual Studio, go to the Project Settings dialog. We want to change the settings for both Debug and Release versions, so under the Settings For field, select "All Configurations". Under the C/C++ Tab, select Preprocessor options.
The package tarball has a directory called boost: you want to add the path of that directory into the Additional include directories box and then #include <boost/numeric/odeint/config.hpp> in your code.
Update
It appears, then, that you already have the odeint headers installed properly: the file boost/numeric/odeint/config.hpp has a line #include <boost/config.hpp>, which is what visual must be complaining about; so I guess the package is not standalone. It must need other boost header files installed. I can't find anything in either the package homepage or the package tarball that mentions any dependencies, so I suppose you should try to install boost too. Download version 1.51.0 here, and this is the windows documentation.
You must download odeint from http://headmyshoulder.github.io/odeint-v2/downloads.html and Boost c++ libraries from http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_51_0.html.
If you use codeblocks right click your project, select build oprions, select Search Directories and add two references one for odeint and one for boost.

Visual Studio 2010 Assimp library won't link

I seem to have a perpetual problem of never being able to get any library to link with Visual Studio. Ever. I eventually get tired of trying and just include the header and source files manually.
My latest endeavour is trying to set up Assimp. I went and downloaded the latest version and followed the installation guide for Visual Studio 2010. http://assimp.sourceforge.net/lib_html/install.html
The result:
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'assimp--3.0.1270-sdk/lib/assimp_release-dll_x64/assimp.lib'
I set the include directories:
assimp--3.0.1270-sdk/include
I set the library directories:
assimp--3.0.1270-sdk/lib/assimp_release-dll_x64
I set the additional dependencies (the guide includes the directories, but shouldn't I just be able to just put assimp.lib since I included the library directory above?):
assimp--3.0.1270-sdk/lib/assimp_release-dll_x64/assimp.lib
What am I doing wrong?
Also, considering this isn't my first time having these difficulties, are there any good tutorials to help me understand this process a little better? I've tried searching for it but most are for previous versions of VS...
My guess is you should provide explicitly relative or absolute paths for the library directory.
You're right about the dependency name, assimp.lib is the correct name and the guide is a bit ambiguous here.
Apart from that, you're doing everything right. Provided the lib file exists, it should link.

How to solve "cannot open file 'LIBCD.lib' " in visual studio 2008?

trying to compile some code i downloaded, i get link error LNK1104: cannot open file 'LIBCD.lib'. i cant find this file anywhere on my computer. what is it, and can i download it from somewhere? is there another way to get the code to work?
In my case, I only wrote "LIBCD.lib" in Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Ignore Specific Library
The first hit on Google for libcd says:
This file is the static library for the debug single threaded version
of the C runtime. Visual Studio 2005 no longer supports this version
of the C runtime: instead you need to use the multi-threaded version
(libcmtd.lib) or the dynamically linked (DLL) version (msvcrtd.lib).
To fix this problem you will need to change the makefile that comes
with GLUI to get it to use a different version of the library.
and some other things that might help you.
You can fix this from the project settings. You need to add the /NODEFAULTLIB to the linker settings:
core.2f.nodefaultlib.asp">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vccore/html/core.2f.nodefaultlib.asp
This option will make the linker ignore all the /DEFAULTLIB directives - this will remove the dependency on libcd.lib. Unfortunately it will remove all the other dependencies as well so you will need to explicitly add the libraries you do need (like glut32.lib etc.) as inputs to the linker.

fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libboost_system-vc90-mt-gd-1_43.lib'

Made a new project, added main.cpp and wrote the code at this URL:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/doc/html/boost_asio/example/echo/async_tcp_echo_server.cpp
Also, added the appropriate include path.
What's next?!?!! It seems like a darn mystery to build a boost code!
Been digging on it for more than 10 hours.
Can anyone give a straightforward answer on how to build the boost library from the code under windows, VC9?
You need to use bjam. It is responsible for creating the libraries that your application will use. Once you use bjam, you are going to need to instruct your project to include the lib file. You do this by going into the project's properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> General. Add the directory which created the lib file to Additional Library Directories. You should be capable of correctly linking after that.
I believe that this link describes the steps better than I could attempt in a post
#bogertron: I want to hug you! (:
So, at last, with a real head ache, I've managed to do so.
The exact steps I took, so others will be saved from the head ache:
Went to http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_43_0/more/getting_started/windows.html#or-build-binaries-from-source .
Followed the "5.3.1 Get bjam" clause. Downloaded the "pre-built bjam executable for your platform" at this URL: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=7586&package_id=72941 .
Extracted the ZIP file (my platform is Windows).
Ran "build.bat". It produced the file "bin.ntx86/bjam.exe".
Copied this file to my PATH ("...../boost_1_43_0/").
From a command line, executed "bjam.exe" and waited for about 4-5 minutes.
Then got this message at the console: "The Boost C++ Libraries were successfully built!"
That's it, it even tells you where the include & lib files are.
Not all Boost libraries are header only, Boost.System is one of them. The documentation for Boost.Asio tells you that it depends on Boost.System.
With Visual Studio, the Boost libraries use auto-linking, which means you don't have to explicitly link to the libraries you need. You however need to have the necessary libraries in the library search path, either globally or per-project.
If you don't want to build the Boost libraries yourself, you can use the installers provided by boostpro (only up to Boost 1.42 though at the moment). If you want to build them yourself instead, the documentation covers that well.
I had the same error and i followed the SourceForge. The link will take you to a folder of zipped lib and dll files for version of boost.You can download and unzip related library and when copied it to the related location everything gonna be alright ;)
In Visual Studio, right-click on your project, then go to properties and select:
Properties -> Configuration Properties -> Linker
There you add the full path of your library in the tab named "Additional Library Directories".
From the "Boost Getting Started Directions":
"5.2 Or, Simplified Build From Source
If you wish to build from source with Visual C++, you can use a simple build procedure described in this section. Open the command prompt and change your current directory to the Boost root directory. Then, type the following commands:
bootstrap
.\b2"
On Windows, I opened the Visual Studio Command Line from the start menu. First I types "bootstrap" and then I typed ".\b2".
Now with boost_1.50 the Boost.build is included in the zip file: check tools\build\v2\ or better read: ...boost_1_50_0/more/getting_started/windows.html
