[DFTB-Plus-User] Compilation of DFTB+ version 1.3

[Ljiljana Stojanovic]

Dear Bálint,

Thank you very much for your answer. It helped me a lot. Somehow I missed
this list of the architectures for which compilation was tested. I
succeeded to compile the code with gcc-4.9.2 and ATLAS-3.10.1. I also tried
with Intel Fortran 15.0 with MKL 11.1, but I had a problem to link ARPACK
library.

Previously when I tried to compile with older versions of gcc and ifort,
the error message was not printed in the log file that I sent, it was only
printed on terminal. I am sorry, I didn't check. But the problem was
exactly with compilation of dftd3 library. Now it works fine.

Thank you a lot once again for the help and I am sorry for my late answer.

Best regards,
Ljiljana
