Subject: AMBER: Building Amber 10 with Intel MKL and compiler mini howto

Howdy Amberites,

After banging my head against it for a few days, I have a working, tested
serial compilation of Amber 10 for OS X Intel using the Intel MKL and
compilers.

A few notes:

I reused the -p4 flag to set optimizations relevant for Intel Macs.
They're all basically Core2Duo or better, and I set the compiler to
optimize for that. If you have one of the first generation Core Duos,
you may need to change the -ax flag.

I (ab)used the -static flag for this build to make it "as static as
possible" given Apple's refusal to support static binaries on OS X.
This part may not be necessary, because I wasn't able to get the
binaries to run witout setting the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, which was the
goal in the first place.

So in spite of the -static-intel flags everywhere I could put them, the MKL
libraries seem to still need the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (or
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH) set in order to run. Without that set, I was
getting errors like:

cd dmp && ./Run.dmp
/programs/i386-mac/ambermd/10/test/dmp
MKL FATAL ERROR: dlopen(libmkl_p4p.dylib, 1): image not found
  ./Run.dmp: Program error

The same goes for the Intel compiler libraries and the Amber Tools:

Running test to make dna duplex:

dyld: Library not loaded: libsvml.dylib
  Referenced from: /private/var/automount/nfs/programs/i386-mac/ambermd/10/test/nab/./duplex
  Reason: image not found

If I add the compiler lib directory to the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, it works
fine. With the above flags, settings, etc, the build passes all the tests
for both Amber and Amber Tools.

HTH.
