Compiling NWChem on mac laptop w/ lion


Just Got Here
Greetings. I am trying to install NWChem on my mac laptop running lion 10.7.4 I believe I have correctly installed openmpi and gfortran. All goes well until a loading step near then end, when I receive an error message that the option --export-dynamic is an unrecognized option for gfortran. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Forum Vet
Randall,
Here is a way to fix your link problem
Edit $NWCHEM_TOP/src/config/makefile.h, change line 1958
from
   LDOPTIONS = -Wl,--export-dynamic
to
#    LDOPTIONS = -Wl,--export-dynamic

Then, relink typing

make FC=gfortran link
