Hi,

It seems to me you are using intel fortran compiler, Am I right?

This error usually happens when you are using different compiler to
compile amber and compile mpich. mpich use g77 as its default compiler,
which generate object files don't work with intel fortran compiler.

Re-compile mpich using the same compiler may solve this problem, you
can do this by the following steps:

download mpich source code, unzip it

go to mpich directory, try the following command:

export FC=ifort(or the compiler you are using for amber)
export F90=ifort(or the compiler you are using for amber)
(I assume you are using bash, if you are using csh, try:
setenv FC ifort
setenv F90 ifort)
./configure
make

watch the build process, make sure you are using right compiler.

Wish you good luck

Sincerely,

Wei
