I use ifc to compile a molecular mechanics suite called AMBER (not freely available). A F90 or later compiler is required, so g77 won't suffice. The AMBER mailing list has documented that only certain versions of ifc v8 will (1) compile the key AMBER program, and (2) generate code which can reproduce known good trajectories (generated by earlier AMBER code compiled with many different compilers, not just g77). These new differences from one minor version to another increase the work necessary to work around the Intel compilers "peculiarities". On the up side, WHEN THEY WORK, the Intel compilers produce easily demonstrably faster code. > > In the past having both ifc and icc ports installed at the same > > time really messed things up.
