XE2011 Linux C++ Compiler & Ubuntu 11.10

[Jim_Segala]

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.10 and now I get the error:
/usr/include/features.h(323): catastrophic error: cannot open source file "bits/predefs.h"
When I try to compile.

I am up to date on the Intel service packs.
Can anyone help with this?

Hi
I think ,Just find where is file predefs.h and create an dummy link (repertory with ln) aligned path want icc

Or, correct the source code to #include , if this apparently more standard version works.

Ubuntu 11.10 isn't a supported operating system, so I don't have a version of the OS here to try. On my 11.04 system, predefs.h exists in /usr/include/bits. Does this match your system?

Hi Jim , TimP , Brandon

I have verify /usr/include/bit/predefs.h with version 4.6.1

Open and read the header , me , I see

"Never use directly; include instead"

I think problem is here for version Icc that is probably obsolete in his call in too .

I really don't think that a problem related to a'Supported OS' or 'Not Supported OS'.

If a C/C++compiler can't find or open some header file, for example, 'abcd.h' what error messagewould you see? Something like:

Error: Cannot open the file 'abcd.h'...

Right? If the 'predefs.h' exists onJim's computer and a C/C++ compiler can't open it there is a problem with a path, or access rights, or compiler settings.

Hi
I think , you don't understand is that the compiler ICC Linux version is only an
fronted of Gnu compiler. if not correctly aligned with an last original version Gnu
you have probably this type problem with incorrect major dependence.
If i remember exactly ,the team that manage this compiler based on Gnu; are ( Edison Design Group)
Search about, for you understand more subject.

The real interest ICC is alignment with Intel hardware processors
more precise adapted, is not reinvent the alphabet already existing.
Icc work very well if you respect correctly alignment with your version Gnu compiler installed.
It is impossible to serve alignment (specific Intel ) with last version GNU compiler in real time.

To put it another way, if your source code doesn't work with the header files as installed in your gcc and glibc, icc won't change the situation. icc uses the gcc installation to search for those headers and corresponding libraries.

I've had the same problem on xubuntu 3.0.0-13-generic. Gcc compiles normally, however icc produces the aforementioned error - being unable to find header. The solution that worked for me is described at

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=648889

One needs to find where is predefs.h:

~% locate predefs.h

/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/bits/predefs.h

And then pass to icc option like this:

icc -I/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/

Hi all, I have got same problem on ubuntu 11.10.

But the solution in the following link is working to me. (i,e.. installing libc6-dev-i386)

Hi everybody,

I have tried to install libc6-dev to make my icpc works and after installing, problem is still there.

Should i add some additional paths to my makefile or ?

I m using Linux Mint Lisa.

Thanks!

If you have been reading previous posts about setting up the 32-bit compiler, you would need to make adjustments in case you are using a 64-bit linux and intel64 compiler. You are depending on someone to have a powerful crystal ball to guess your goal.
Note that icpc support for g++ 4.7 is expected in the icpc 13.0, in case that g++ version comes with your new linux.
