There's a (possibly related) problem with the Intel compilers and
RedHat 9 owing to the new glibc. It produces different link error
messages (missing errno and ctype_b), but the symptoms are similar
in that an installation previously working with 7.x breaks under
9.0. The workaround until Intel comes out with a new version is
to install an older version of libc.a someplace and force ifc to
use it. See

It's crap like this that caused me to wipe RH9 from my laptop and go
back to RH8. I haven't 'upgraded' any other machines beyond 8.

Another thought:

Since you are using mpif90 to link, you should be getting all of the
MPI libraries. You can use mpif90 -echo to see exactly what mpif90
is doing; if it doesn't invoke ifc with the -lmpich library flag,
that could cause the problems you are seeing.
