[Pw_forum] compilation on Blue Gene/L

[brsahu at physics.utexas.edu]

Dear PWSCF users,

I am trying to compile the latest version of pwscf code on Blue  
Gene/L. I used the
Make.bgl file provided with the distribution and checked the  
"correctness" of all the entries in it w.r.t Blue Gene here. There is  
a compilation error at the preprocessing stage:

  commands:

It says -- k is an illegal option. But the
The portion of make.sys from where the error seems to come is:

LIBS           = -L$(BGLSYS)/lib -lmpich.rts -lmsglayer.rts -lrts.rts  
-ldevices.rts  -L/home/bekas/LIBS/BGL -lmass -lmassvbgl -ldcopy -lb-d

LDFLAGS      = ../flib/ptools.a ../flib/flib.a ../clib/clib.a   
$(LIBOBJS) $(LIBS) -qarch=440d

AR           =  ar
ARFLAGS      = ruv
RANLIB       = ranlib


where I do not see any -- or k after "ar".

What could be wrong?
