[v4.2.x][ifort] *zpshde.f90*: internal compiler error

Versions v4.2.x

Dear users,

I’m trying to compile the default configuration of the latest version of NEMO 4.2.0 and got the error message catastrophic error: **Internal compiler error: internal abort**.
I’m using Intel fortran version 17.0.2 to compile and the trunk version of xios has been installed successfully with the same fortran.
According to various websites this is a compiler issue and I thought this error has been taken care of by Intel, but I don’t know if I need a new version of Intel fortran to fix the error or any way to fix it without installing a new version.
I’d appreciate any suggestions to get rid of this error.

Log that shows the error:

Hi,
Interestingly, I faced a weird compilation problem for the same routine with ifort version 17.0.3
In case this helps, I got rid of it by removing the explicit definition of array shapes in lbc_lnk calls, e.g.:
replace:

CALL lbc_lnk( 'zpshde', pgtu(:,:,:), 'U', -1.0_wp ,...

by

CALL lbc_lnk( 'zpshde', pgtu, 'U', -1.0_wp ,...

I admit, I didn’t really understand what was going on…

This has been pushed in the main here:

I would be curious to know what was your issue and how you solved it.

Had the same catastrophic error as ukocean with an Intel compiler. @jchanut edits solved the problem for me.
