Version : Intel MKL 10.3.7


Operating System : Windows* operating system

Problem Description : 


Intel MKL for Windows* customers using the following Fortran 77 header files:
  • mkl_dss.f77
  • mkl_pardiso.f77

This is a known issue that will be fixed in a future release. To resolve the issue please use the following workaround:

  • Use the corresponding f90 headers instead of the f77 headers
  • Switch to the PGI* F90 compiler if you use PGI* F77
