internal error: 0_7940

[mericmeydan]

Hi,

whatever .c file I try, I get the same error, even with a simplest "hello world" code. As seen below...

-----------------------------
~$ icc -std=c99 hello.c
(0): internal error: 0_7940

compilation aborted for hello.c (code 4)
-----------------------------

when I looked for internal error 0_7940 unfortunately I couldn't find anything. Any suggestions?

PS: this is the hello.c code:

#include

int main (void)
{
printf("Hello world\\n");
return 0;
}

as I mentioned above, it does not bother which code it is. :(

Could you please let us know what version of the compiler you are using (e.g. icc -V), and the Linux* distribution, glibc & kernel versions, etc ?

Thanks,

If you use capital "V" as in "icc -V" you will get the architecture, and build version of the compiler than just the version number:

$ icc -V
Intel C Intel 64 Compiler XE for applications running on Intel 64, Version 12.0.0.084 Build 20101006

Did the Intel compiler install correctly on your Ubuntu system without any errors or warnings?
Please see the article at http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-compilers-for-linux-with-ubuntu/?wapkw=%28ubuntu%29 which discusses Intel compiler installation on Ubuntu. It is focused on icc 11.1 but the information also applies to icc 12.0.

By the way, what does "internal error: 0_7940" includes? If I learn maybe I can try to find out what I did wrong while installation, or after...
