Intel C++ Installation on Ubuntu fails

[koegli]

I try to install Intel C++ NC 9.1 on Ubuntu 6.10 (build_essentials installed). After executing the install script I always get the error "Unvalid license file", when I enter the path (/opt/intel/license/XXX.lic). When using the serial number approach, I'm told that my serial number was registered to another account. I downloaded already twice with my two different emails, always the same error. Has anybody any ideas what's going wrong? Thanks a lot, NIC

I'm having the same problem. Wondering how this problem was solved, if at all. Thanks for any info. --Dev.

Hi, since Ubuntu is not yet an officially supported system in 9.1 you'll have to do the following:

1. First check if the license file is valid using the following command:

"./chklic.32 -c "

If it's valid, the you'll have to file this issue in premier so I can pass on a new install_cc.sh file that will force the install to a non-rpm install all the time which is necessary in Ubuntu because it has an RPM commandwhichdoes not work the way one would expect in a normal RPM environment. Once you have the new install_cc.sh file that you can use, you'll do the following steps to get the install going:

2 - Change all of the following files from "/bin/sh" to "/bin/bash" lines:

/opt/intel/cc/9.1.049/bin/icc

/iccvars.sh

/icpc

/profrun (probably bash already)

/uninstall.sh

Also, if using the debugger, change these files in the same way:

/opt/intel/idb/9.1.049/bin/idb

/idbvars.sh

/uninstall.sh

/mpirun_dbg.idb

3 - Invoke the the iccvars.sh file before running ICC.

NOTE: If you don't have a premier support account, please do the following to get one:

A) Go to https://registrationcenter.intel.com.

B) Enter your email id and license serial number, and click on Register Product. This will take you to a page which will ask for some details like name, company etc.. Filling this form will create an account for you.

3) Once your account is created, you can log any pr oblem report or view the updates to the issues submitted through https://premier.intel.com site. For more information have a look at https://registrationcenter.intel.com/regcenter/content/eng/howto.htm

Please go ahead and file this issue in premier, and you'll get the above problem resolved quickly.

ALSO NOTE: If you can download the 10.0 Beta version of the compiler, then you don't need the new install_cc.sh file unlike 9.1. All you do is follow the steps 1-3 outlined above in changing the noted files to have /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh and the install will go thro' fine. Just fyi.

Hope the above helps, and appreciate your patience.
