Error running fortcom

I have never used the compiler before it is an application requested by a user I support. Personally I would be happy if he just used gcc-fortran, I could install that through yum. But here goes.

I am running an EL 5.5 system x86_64. I have gotten the necessary libstdc++.so.5 64 bit library that is required for the run and install, and I have the program installed successfully I think. The user claims that I should run the binary fortcom found under /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/bin/intel64/ however when I do I get the following error:

# ./fortcom

Intel Fortran Compiler for applications running on Intel 64, Version 11.1 Build 20100414 Package ID: l_cprof_p_11.1.072

catastrophic error: Compiler configuration problem encountered. The expected target architecture compiler is missing (unset != 11.1-intel64)

I haven't found reference to anybody else running fortcom itself. ifort seems to work fine when I run it just needing the file for it to use.

Anybody know what is causing fortcom to error out, help would be most appreciated.

You're right the user is wrong. You invoke the compiler using ifort not fortcom. fortcom is the underlying command the ifort driver calls in the proper manner.

Agetting started guide (getting_started_f.pdf) is available under the compiler installation Documentation sub-directory that may be of help showing the user how to "source" the appropriate ifortvars shell setup script and invoke the compiler.

Thank you, this is a user I don't have much faith in anyways, since he decided an entire os reinstall was the way to fix an xwindows system broken by a kernel update... sigh

Thank you for your help.
