undefined reference to `for_simd_random_number'

Question

recently when I tried to compile a fortran code using intel compiler version 11.1.073 on Linux, I ran into the following error:

>>> BUILDING: PaSR
make[1]: Entering directory `/autofs/na3_home1/xl/ISAT_V11/PaSR'

/usr/bin/ld: link errors found, deleting executable `PaSR'
make[1]: *** [PaSR] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/autofs/na3_home1/xl/ISAT_V11/PaSR'
make: *** [build-programs] Error 1

It seems to me that the code cannot find a specific lib (in intel shared libs) which it needs and thus causing the error. I have successfully used intel/13.1.3.192 to compile it. But not with intel/11.1.073. I have searched the web for 'for_simd_random_number' but didn't find a clue.

Please do offer your wisdom. I appreciate it!

The symbol for_simd_random_number is defined in the library ifcore in intel fortran 13. However it is not present in your intel fortran 11 libraries, so you cannot link agains it.
