UPDATE2: Because of the basis set issue the code doesn't run in parallel!
UPDATE 3: All issues are solved by -O0 or -O1. The code now works in parallel and you can define basis sets the usual way. Performance-wise? No idea. So you can compile with -O3 or -O2 but the code doesn't read basis sets the intended way, or you use -O1 or -O0 and it works.
THIS WORKS NOW :)
Original post:
I've been wanting to use dalton for a long time, but it's been difficult to compile dalton 2.0, and I didn't realise until a few days ago that there's a newer version.
See here for a description of how to compile on ROCKS 5.4.3 (i.e. Centos 5.6) which uses gfortran v 4.1. The main difference between compiling on CentOS 5.6 and Debian Wheezy is in how you edit the Makefile.config. More specifically, compile works a whole lot better with -fno-whole-file and -march=native..
Other than that the steps are the same.
In terms of running, there's an issue with the discoverability of the basis sets which I don't really understand. There's a solution to that at the end of the file.
Before you get started you may want to compile ATLAS as shown here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/05/compile-atlas-blas-on-debian-testing.html
Alternatively, you should get the ACML libraries.
NOTE: The compile went without a hitch on my AMD II X3, AMD Phenom II X6 and Intel i5-2400.
My AMF FX 8150 is a trickier story though: it failed to compile with acml libs (gfortran64_fma4_int64) for -O3 and -O2, but compiled with -O1 and -O0. The -O1 binary segfaults though. Never tried the -O0 binary.
WARNING: If you run dalton in parallel it will -- for some reason -- delete your scratch folder when the run is over. The scratch directory is defined in the /opt/dalton/bin/dalton script (TMPDIR)

DALTON uses almost 100 Megabytes of static

DALTON has the possibility to reserve an amount of static memory
for storing two-electron integrals in direct and parallel calculations
Storing some or all of the 2-el. integrals in memory will speed up
direct and parallel calculations (and in particular the latter).
NOTE: This will increase the static memory allocation used by DALTON

-->Program will be installed with 300 MB (39000000 words) used for storing 2-el. integrals

or by using the -M option to the run script: "dalton -M mb ..." (in megabytes).
We recommend at least 200 MB work memory,
larger for correlated calculations, but it should for maximum
efficiency NOT exceed available physical memory per CPU in parallel calculations.

cd ../ cp basis/* -R /opt/dalton/basis
and edit your ~/.bashrc;
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/dalton/bin

GPOPEN errors and how to get around them.
To make the story short: if you use -O3 or -O2 for some reason Dalton can't find the basis sets if you declare them the normal way (-O0 and -O1 take care of the problem). However, using ATOMBASIS it works.
Here's an example. Typically you'd specify the basis set for a whole molecule in your .mol file:
BASIS
STO-3G
DFT PROPERTIES TEST
This doesn't work with O3

8. 1
O -0.141254 0.0998816 0.00000

H 0.589315 0.718039 0.00000
H -0.922641 0.652406 0.00000
but that leads to errors on the debian (but not centos) builds:
