Since I cannot seem to use the available libxml2 (see my other question), I want to compile it myself from scratch. I need to use the Cray wrapped Intel compiler for this.
During the linking stage, I get many of these errors:
ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `./.libs/libxml2.so'
The configure line is this:
libxml2/configure
--prefix=local-icc
CC=/opt/cray/pe/craype/2.5.14/bin/cc
CXX=/opt/cray/pe/craype/2.5.14/bin/CC

'CFLAGS=-xAVX2 -O3 -fPIC -std=c99'
'CXXFLAGS=-xAVX2 -O3 -fPIC'
The same libxml2 works fine on other high performance computing systems, and I can also compile them with the Intel compiler there. What could be the issue of this static/dynamic issue?
