compiling error

I found a problem in my VASP parallel calculations. I calculated a Al (110) slab by using 10 processors for k-points of 3X3X1. The calculation
went well. But when I tried to use 12 processors for the same structure,
I failed. I also tried to use 10 processors for 4X4X1 k-points, I failed
either.
I checked the OUTCAR file, the tail line is as follows:

have you included the parallel version of the fft-libs when you compiled vasp?

Sir, I did not include the parallel version fft-libs. but how can I get such libs. thanks

sorry, my mistake, there compilation remarks are just REMARKS concerning the vectorization of the code, you can simply ignore them, they certainly are not the reason why vasp stopped.
what are the error messages written in the job.stdout file?
