If you've just installed the portland (PGI) compilers, you may get a message when you try to compile telling you to run 'makelocalrc'- but then when you try (once you've worked out the syntax)- you may get message like this
cp: cannot stat `/opt/pgi/linux86/10.6/lib/libpgbind_real.a': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/opt/pgi/linux86/10.6/lib/libpgbind_real.so': No such file or directory
localrc has not changed
I spent a while searching about this before finding a site (in Japanese- thank you babelfish) that said- don't worry, it's been written really. And it had. WHY LIE PGI!
