I asked about ifcore because I wsa getting the following error:

[root at wms1 ictrans]# icc -ansi  -O2    -o ictrans main.o ../../../.././ncarview/src/lib/libictrans/libictrans.o

IPO link: can not find -lifcore
icc: error: problem during multi-file optimization compilation (code 1)

The library ifcore does not exist for icc, only for ifort.
If I change the compiler to "ifort -nofor-main" it works.

How should it be compiled?
