GCC Compiler
I'm struggling with getting Intel compiler. Can you compile the code without Intel compiler? Compile with GCC?
ICC/ICPC has much better support to code vectorization than GCC, and Intel's MKL is used anyway in the package. So we chose to only support Intel compiler (sorry!). I guess the code can be compiled with GCC with -fopenmp (assuming you have MKL installed). So those vectorization #pragmas will be ignored with performance penalty.
I think the simplest way is to install Intel compiler and latest MKL. You may be qualified to get a free copy at https://software.intel.com/en-us/qualify-for-free-software, and install "Intel® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition (includes Fortran and C/C++)", then you are all done.
If not, you may try a evaluation version at https://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-parallel-studio-xe
