installation of FEAP 7.5 on 64 bit Linux machine
« on: May 27, 2013, 06:49:21 AM »
Hello!

I tried to compile FEAP 7.5 on a Linux machine (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), but some incompatibility between 32 and 64 bit architecture arises
during linking:

/usr/bin/ld: i386 architecture of input file `feap75.o' is incompatible with i386:x86-64 output

I tried -m32 option with gcc with no success.   

Please help!

I'm not sure the version 7.5 will work with 64-bit pointers.  You could try checking if your compiler has an option that will force all integers to be 64-bits in length (as opposed to 32).  Then you should also change ipr in feap75.f to 1.

If you are really interested in this, then purchasing a newer version would likely be helpful.

Thanks a lot!

After some tries we also agreed that a newer version is the most elegant solution.
We will contact feap@berkeley.edu.
