Segfault in MKL's dgesvx

Help
1

I’m getting a segfault in the routine dgesvx using intel’s MKL. Here is a minimal working example. I can use dgesv, but not dgesvx which is a version that estimates the condition number of the matrix. I’m compiling with ifort dgesvx_tester.f90 -L/opt/intel/composer2020/mkl/lib/intel64 -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lpthread and the output of the program segfaults at the dgesvx routine, but dgesv works. Any help would be appreciated. Sample code output:

 dgesv solution:

If I compile with debugging on then it does show that the traceback to my part of the code that originates the segfault is the call to dgesvx.

Welcome to the Discourse! I think it might be that you’ve passed a character literal (‘N’) to the EQUED argument when this is an output argument. Maybe try pass a character(1) variable there instead.

This was indeed the problem. Thank you for your reply.
