Hi,
While helping someone to get scipy compiled with intel compilers on
itanium, I encountered a serious problem: ifort cannot compile empty
source files on itanium !! The files I got problems with are in ARPACK
(two .f files are empty), but there may be other too, I don't know.
Putting comments do not seem to work, there must be some statements...
What would be the best solution in this case ? Is it ok to remove
the files (since they are empty, this cannot be too bad, I guess, except
if there is a need to track upstream library)
cheers,
David
