Failure to install in 64 bit platforms because of the name

I have noticed that the Intel Fortran compiler for 64 bit Xeon processor fails to install in Suse Linux 10. The reason is the name of the platform. Suse thinks that it is a x86_64, but Intel thinks it is em64t. Users find that the software does not install, and will have no clue of why.

What is the problem with naming the architecture of packages x86_64?

I don't quite understand the description of the problem. x86_64 is the typical Linux notation used for EM64T/AMD64. If you're having an installation problem, I'd suggest filing a support request with Intel Premier Support.
