disable PreRequisite install-check? [nss_check] failed / libnss3.so / archlinux

[Lehmann__Marcus_Chri]

Dear Intel Support Team,

I am trying to use a current Advisor l_oneapi_advisor_p_2021.3.0.290_offline.sh on  archlinux, but the installer won't install any files due to a PreRequisite check called nss_check.

Is it possible to disable these checks and perform an installation nonetheless?

kind regards,

Christian

Context: I found, that with older versions of Advisor, e.g. 2020.2.0.606470, when starting with

/bin/bash -c "source /opt/intel/advisor/advixe-vars.sh; advixe-gui"

and receiving a

advixe-gui: /opt/intel/advisor_2020.2.0.606470/bin64/../lib64/../lib64/libnss3.so: version `NSS_3.65' not found (required by /usr/lib/libsmime3.so)

that this is, because archlinux's /usr/lib/libsmime3.so looks for version NSS_3.65 but the libnss.so that comes bundled with Advisor only knows versions up to NSS_3.39.

So the workaround was to (re)move the bundled versions such that Advisor falls back to the system distributed ones:

rm /opt/intel/advisor_2020.2.0.606470/bin64/../lib64/../lib64/libnss*

but this only works when the files can be installed, of course.

The logfile created by l_oneapi_advisor_p_2021.3.0.290_offline.sh is:

Hi,

ArchLinux is not a supported OS platform for the Intel Advisor. Please find the list of supported platforms in the release notes.

Release notes: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/advisor-release-notes.html

As a workaround, please try the below steps:

1. Please try downloading the Advisor from here: https://software.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/articles/oneapi-standalone-components.html#advisor
2. Extract the downloaded file (don't install)
3. source the environment for Intel Advisor, run the

   source <install-dir>/env/vars.sh

   script.
4. Then run the analysis from the command line and you an open result in the other systems which contains supported OS versions as GUI will not work in unsupported versions.

Hi Abhijeet,

I've extracted all .cup files from within the extracted l_oneapi_advisor_p_2021.3.0.290_offline.sh into a folder named extract

find . -iname *.cup | while read f; do 7z x "$f" -ao -oextract; done

there, I found the necessary files to source vars.sh and run advixe-gui.

Thank you for pointing that out!

regards,
Christian
