Missing libiomp5md.dll

On running a program, you received messages like “The program can't start because libiomp5md.dll is missing from your computer…” and the program doesn't work.

Background

All BLUPF90 programs are compiled with Intel Parallel Studio 2016 XE for Fortran. Some programs use the OpenMP functions. A executable using OpenMP now requires an additional library (libiomp5md.dll). The library is provided and freely available on the Intel's web site.

Solution

Please install the Redistributable Libraries by Intel Corporation.

If you receive a message like “The program can't start because libiomp5md.dll is missing from your computer…”, please install the Redistributable Libraries by Intel Corporation.

  1. Access the official web site by Intel.
  2. Download Intel® Fortran Compiler Runtime for Windows (2022.2.0 / 2021.7.0).
  3. Open the zip file and follow the installer instructions.
  4. Done. Open a new terminal window and run BLUPF90 programs as usual.
