Turning off IEEE floating point messages for new gfortran compilers

Dear nmusers: Some of you may have been starting to use gfortran 4.9 or higher, and when running nonmem 7.3, see IEEE floating point errors issued to the console or terminal window. These error messages may be ignored, as they do not impact analysis. To prevent these messages from being issued, you must re-install NONMEM using the compiler switch -ffpe-summary=none. You can to this by adding the option to line 250 in SETUP73.bat: if "%f%" == "gfortran" set op=-O3 -ffast-math -ffpe-summary=none or line 368 and 376 in SETUP73: line 368: if [[ $ftail == gfortran ]]; then op="-w -ffpe-summary=none"; fi line 376: if [[ $ftail == gfortran ]]; then op="-w -O3 -ffast-math -ffpe-summary=none "; fi Robert J.
