[ofa-general] Compiling source using Intel Compiler

[Christopher Tanner]

> Isn't it a library, not a module ?

Yeah, which is why I'm really confused. Here's the link to the website  
which says I need to load a module (it's around the middle of the way  
down)
http://asci-training.lanl.gov/BProc/

Yup. The library exists and the path to it is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  
Again, confusion.

Yes, I've read this before. However, I've also read that a static  
compilation won't work very well on a cluster, but I haven't tested it  
out. Since I'm stuck, I'll try this out to see if it works.

Thanks Hal.
