f77 g77 installation woes for solaris

[arati]

Hello,
I wanted to run SCALAPACK on my Solaris machines. I tried the following:
I followed the steps mentioned in http://www.netlib.org/scalapack/examples/readme.
Except the following changes:
f77 --> g77 in point number 5.

and command number 6 instead of being :

f77 -f -o example1 example1.f scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a \
blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a blacs_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a \
blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a blas_SUN4SOL2.a \
$MPI_ROOT/lib/solaris/ch_p4/libmpi.a -lnsl -lsocket

I used to set the correxct path of libmpi.a:
/usr/local/bin/mpif77 -o example1 example1.f scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a blacs_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a blas_SUN4SOL2.a /usr/local/lib/libmpi.a -lnsl -lsocket

however I am getting the following error:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__do_f_out_nv scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(pxerbla.o)

ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to example1
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
/usr/local/bin/mpif77: No such file or directory

I am not being able to figure out what is missing.

My machine doesnot have f77. I figured out that my problems are because of missing f77 as they and g77 append some different number of underscores in the file.
Using:
g77 -fno-second-underscore -o example1 example1.f scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a ./blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a ./blacs_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a ./blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a ./blas_SUN4SOL2.a blacsCinit_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a /usr/local/lib/libmpi.a -lnsl -lsocket -lthread -L/usr/local/lib -llammpio -llamf77mpi -lmpi -llam -laio -laio -lsocket -lnsl -lthread -lthread -ldl

reduced number of error messages to:
Undefined first referenced
symbol in file
__c_conv_i scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(lsame.o)
__e_wsfe scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(pxerbla.o)
__s_copy scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(pbdgemm.o)
__do_f_out_nv scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(pxerbla.o)
__s_cmp scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(pdlange.o)
mpi_init_ ./blacsF77init_MPI-SUN4SOL2-0.a(blacs_pinfo_.o)
__pow_di scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(dlamch.o)
__s_wsFe_nv scalapack_SUN4SOL2.a(pxerbla.o)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to example1
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

However I cannot figure out how to remove these.

Arati,

Using g77 should be fine.

Your error message seems to indicate that there is a problem while
linking with BLACS.

Here what I suggest:

First run the BLACS/INSTALL/EXE programs to check that you are using the
good variables in your Bmake.Inc (especially run xintface).
For more help, please refer to
http://www.netlib.org/blacs/blacs_install.ps.
Then proceed to
make mpi what=clean; make mpi
(if needed.)

After, you should run the test suite of the BLACS: make tester
To do so, download
http://www.netlib.org/blacs/blacstester.tgz
and note that you should correct Makefile from the BLACS/TESTING directory
(cf. http://www.netlib.org/blacs/blacs_errata.html#g77).

If everything runs fine until this last point, run the Scalapack tests.
To do so, type make exe to generate the test from the TESTING directory.
then run then using mpirun command.
(details are in http://www.netlib.org/scalapack/scalapack_install.pdf)
If you manage to run the tests corretcly, just take the same compilation for your example. That should be ok.
