Using the nonmem/fortran/MPICH installation package did not, by itself, take care of the problem. I needed to manually edit the path as described below.

In other words, edit your path so that c:\Program Files\gfortran\libexec\... comes first in the path, before C:\PHSTMinGW. Are you saying you've done that and still have an issue? If so please contact [email protected] and we will try to assist on our side as well to understand better where this conflict comes from on a small number of configurations.

We used the workaround posted on the archive by William Bachman on Wed, 9 May 2012. Nonmem did however not compile using the gfortran 4.6.0. compiler, nor using gfortran 4.6.3. Variables were set as follows: LIBRARY_PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\lib PATH C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\libexec\gcc\i586-pc-mingw32\4.6.0; C:\Program Files (x86)\gfortran\bin; TEMP %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp TMP %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp On the computer Phoenix WinNonLin 6.2 was pre-installed. This included the MPICH2 software for multiple CPU and CPU core processing. Phoenix does add strings to the system environment variables. Unfortunately, I don't have these available (or a screenshot) to share anymore. After de-installation of Phoenix 6.2 and MPICH2, the compilation of Nonmem went smoothly. Apparently, the presence of Phoenix software (including references in the environment variables for Phoenix) in our case, prevented adequate installation of Nonmem. Has anybody experienced similar problems? If so, can you advice me on a workaround enabling co-installation of both NonMem and Phoenix WinNonLin on a single machine? Many thanks for the input.
