How to download older version of C++ Compiler or Parallel Studio for Linux

[izzettarik]

Hello.

I have an educational license for "Intel® Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition for Linux*". I would like to download XE 2013 version of the compilers (or just C++), but oldest version I can see on the download page is 2017 Update 6.

Is it possible to obtain older versions somehow? Thank you very much.

Hi izzettarik,

Thank you for posting in Intel C++ Compiler forum. Unfortunately we don’t support versions below 2017. Is there any particular requirement with the older version?

Hi Gopika,

Thank you for your reply. That's bad to hear. Basicly, I am trying to compile an open source program written in 2014-2015. It uses icc and icpc to compile, and requires several libraries (MKL for example), and linking with some other software.

I have tried to compile it with 2017 and 2020 compilers, but run into several problems. For example, I have to make minor adjustments to some lines because of the change in conventions since 2014. This is hard to do since it is not my code, and I might be breaking something else while I fix one thing. I was able to compile the program, but it is not working as intended. Therefore, I suspect I need the correct (old) versions to make it work.

Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Regards,

Tarik

Hi Tarik,

Could you share us with a reproducer code inorder to try it from our end and also the compiler version in which the program worked.

The program should work in version: 14.0.1-sp1.1.10

To be honest, I am not sure how to provide a reproducer code. There is no error during compilation, but I get the error when I try to run the FEA program Abaqus. The error is referring to an Intel shared library, which is the following:

/opt/abaqus/6.14-1/code/bin/standard: error while loading shared libraries: libirng.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After some investigation, I found a suggestion to run the following command,

LD_PRELOAD=/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.5.274/linux/compiler/lib/intel64/libirng.so abaqus

which returns:

/opt/abaqus/6.14-1/code/bin/python: symbol lookup error: /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.5.274/linux/compiler/lib/intel64/libirng.so: undefined symbol: __intel_avx_rep_memcpy

And, if I try this command,

nm /opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2018.5.274/linux/compiler/lib/intel64/libirng.so

I get:

Does this information help? What do you suggest?

Thank you again.

Hi Tarik,

Thank you for reporting this issue. We’re forwarding this issue to the concerned internal team who can help you out.

These are defined in libirc.a, libirng.* or libintlc.so.

Did you "source compilervars.sh intel64" prior to building?

You can pass -static-intel to the linker to link Intel provided libraries statically.

Let us know if this is still an issue. Otherwise, we will close it.
