Error building iphreeqc library with PGI compilers

Hi PGI Users,

I am trying to build iphreeqc library (source can be found here https://water.usgs.gov/water-resources/software/PHREEQC/iphreeqc-3.4.0-12927.tar.gz) with PGI compilers (18.4 community edition), this is the configure line:

CXX=pgc++ CC=pgcc FC=pgfortran ./configure --prefix=$DEV_lib_dir/iphreeqc --enable-fortran-module --enable-fortran-test

Once I start compiling with make I got the following errors:

  CXX      phreeqcpp/transport.lo
"phreeqcpp/transport.cpp", line 1: error: unrecognized token
  #include "Utils.h"

100 errors detected in the compilation of "phreeqcpp/transport.cpp".

I used gcc compilers without problems, what could be the problem here?

Thank you for your help,

Best regards,

Hi Hector,

The problem is in src/phreeqcpp/transport.c

There is a byte order mark (bytes EF BB BF) at the start of the file that is throwing the compiler off.

$ hexdump -C src/phreeqcpp/transport.cpp | head -n2
00000000  ef bb bf 23 69 6e 63 6c  75 64 65 20 22 55 74 69  |...#include "Uti|
00000010  6c 73 2e 68 22 0a 23 69  6e 63 6c 75 64 65 20 22  |ls.h".#include "|

I got it to compile by removing the BOM, I believe you can do :set nobomb and save with vim or with set-buffer-file-coding-system and pick utf-8 in emacs. The dos2unix command will also work.

Hi aglobus,

That was definitely the problem, I used dos2unix and it worked.

Thanks for your help!
