Can not install EM64T Intel Fortran Compiler 9.0 on 64 bit FC4 with Athlon64 3500+

[jsunch]

Tried to install a commerical version Intel Fortran Compiler 9.0 ona system with the following configuration:

CPU: an AMDathlon64 3500+

OS: 64 bit FC4

tried ./install.sh, and it reports that I can install 1) IA32 Intel Fortran Compiler 9.0 and 2) EM64TIntel Fortran Compiler 9.0

IA32 works just fine. However, when i tried to install the EM64T version, it just reports "instalation fails"

I checked the Intel website, and it seems Intel says that their EM64T ifort 9.0requires intel based EM64T processor (I guess it is Xeon and new Pentium4) and AMD opertron processor. No Athlon64 :(

any ppl can help me on this issue? many thanks! :)

Does your 64-bit g++ run OK, and is it the same version as the 32-bit g++? While FC4 isn't supported, if you continue to have trouble, set up an account on premier.intel.com, and file a problem report. You may be asked to generate logs of the installation process. I'm fairly certain that your CPU is OK with a supported OS, and FC4 is OK with an Intel CPU, so it should be possible to make it work for you.

Thanks a lot. :)I used the "file" command, and it shows g++ is 64 bit. I also tested a small C program, and g++ works just fine. Guess right now I will report this to premier support.

Our EM64T compiler supports AMD Opteron and Athlon 64-based systems.

You need to have the 32-bit g++ support installed as well - this is called out in the installation guide.

Thanks for the information. glad to hear Athlon64 is supported.

What do you mean that 32-bit g++ support should be installed? Can you explain a bit more? I checked the install manual and found I do have files like: libc.so.6, etc... and libc.so.6 link to libc-2.3.5.so, which is a 32-bit shared object reported by "file" command.

Thanks,

I am not a Linux expert, but here is what the Installation Guide says:

32-bit (IA-32) C and C++ runtime libraries: libm.so.6,
libpthread.so.0, libc.so.6, libstdc++.so.5 and libgcc_s.so.1

*Note:* The requirement for the 32-bit (IA-32) libraries is due to the
compiler and other tools being 32-bit applications that dynamically link
to these libraries. If these libraries are not installed, the following
error may be displayed when the compiler is invoked:

|error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory|

The error message is confusing as it does not indicate that the IA-32
version of libstdc++.so.5 is required. To avoid this problem, be sure
that the 32-bit (IA-32) versions of these libraries are installed. Most,
but not all, Linux distributions for Intel EM64T will install these by
default. Consult the documentation that came with your Linux
distribution for instructions on how to install the 32-bit libraries,
typically in packages named libstdc++ and libc. If you still have
problems, please contact Intel Premier Support for further assistance.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

None of this should be relevant to installation. I see that you have submitted an issue to Intel Premier Support, which is how this should be handled.

[jsunch]

Yeah, based on the feedback from Premium support, I can install the compiler now. Thanks a lot for the help!

I had almost exactly the same problem, except that my system is:

CPU: an AMD Opteron 848
OS: 64 bit FC4

Somehow I had problem login the premier.intel.com, so I have to ask for help here. Could some one kindly tell me how the problem was solved? Thanks in advance!
