Cannot compile simple Hello world on Ubuntu 13.04

[therob]

Dear all,

I installed the latest Intel C++ compiler (13.1.1) on my machine running Ubuntu 13.04. Trying to compile the following simple program:

#include <iostream>

int main() {
std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

I get this error:

/usr/include/c++/4.7/iostream(39): catastrophic error: cannot open source file "bits/c++config.h"
#include <bits/c++config.h>

The missing file is located here /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.7/bits/c++config.h Compiling with gcc works just fine.

Is this some kind of incompatibility between the OS and the compiler or just the OS fault?

All the best.

Please provide a complete command line you used for review. This is a PATH related issue and you need to specify a path to a folder with header files. >>Is this some kind of incompatibility between the OS and the compiler No. >>or just the OS fault? No. For example, Let's say a support for MKL is needed in some application. In that case you need to specify paths to header files and library files ( it is a rule for any platform ). Here is how it looks like with a GCC-like compiler for header files only: ... @g++ ... -I ".../Composer XE/Mkl/Include" ... ...

Hi,

      Also i just want to know whether have you sourced he compiler script before using the ICC/ICPC compiler? This compiler script is usually located at <Installation_dir>/composer_XE_ver/bin/compilervars.sh ia32/intel64.

Sorry for the late response.

I have sourced the compiler scripts, as suggested at the end of the installation process.

The compiler line I used are:

GCC: g++ hello_world.cpp -o hello_world.x

ICPC: icpc hello_world.cpp -o hello_world.x

I don't think it's a PATH related issue. In fact, if I compile adding a -I/path/to/header where the bits/c++config.h is the error it's still the same.

I "solved" making a symbolic link to the c++config.h header in the directory where the system is looking up. It's not really a solution but it works for the moment.

Best.

Thanks for the follow up. >>...I "solved" making a symbolic link to the c++config.h header in the directory where the system is looking up. It's not really >>a solution but it works for the moment... I see that it was an Access Rights issue for your account and it is good that you could proceed now with your task or project.

Hello,

even with proper including of header file I got this compilation error (fresh Ubuntu 13.04, 3.8.0-26-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 17 21:43:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux), icpc (ICC) 12.1.3 20120212)

Any help please ?

Did you use -std=c++11 command line option?

[Melanie_B_Intel]

The #define symbols such as __ATOMIC_ACQ_REL are automatically predefined if the version of gcc in your environment is 4.7 or greater.  You can either modify your environment so that "gcc -v" is 4.7 or greater. Alternately you can use the Intel compiler options -gcc-name and -gxx-name. I personally favor modifying the environment. You can confirm gcc version compatibility by using the Intel compiler option -v--about the first line that's printed shows (gcc version xxx compatibility)

I know it is an unsupported OS version, but has anyone got C++ 13.1 to work on Ubuntu 13.04?  Fixing the simple include path problems discussed above seems to just leave one with a set of inconsistent header files, e.g., in which many elements of the STL don't work.

Hello,

Could you try to add to command line "-I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.7" for 64-bit system or -I/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/c++/4.7 for 32 bit system?

BTW, Composer XE 2013 Update 2 introduced new environment variables like below

[bash]

% setenv __INTEL_POST_CFLAGS "-I/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/c++/4.7"

% icc hello.cpp

%

[/bash]

[rjharrison]

As I said, that fixes the original include path problem but subsequently icpc chokes on many standard header files, as if it does not have some internal macros defined correctly.   I'll try to distil some code down to a fragment that reproduces the issues.

[rjharrison]

My bad ... broken template code from repo ... compiler is functioning fine.

[Vladimir_P_1234567890]

Good to see that compiler works in this case.

thanks.
