Workaround for Installation problems for Intel Compilers for Mac OS* X
----------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: These instructions were written for troubleshootingproblems with installations of the 10.1.xxx versions ofthe Intel Fortran Compiler for Mac OS* X onMac OS* X 10.5.x (Leopard) systems. Similar steps should work for troubleshooting installation problems with the Intel C++ Compiler for Mac OS* X, but the appropriate directory file paths must be substituted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Launch Finder and open a new Finder window. Then locate the "Install" application for your Compiler version, not the Install html file.

2) Perform the following steps to select your product license

a. Double click Install application icon

b. Compiler install is launched. Click "Continue"

c. On the dialog "Select license option", click "Continue"

d. On the dialog for "Tool selection", exit the Install by clicking onthe red button on the top-left corner of this windows.

e. When asked to confirm the close, click "Yes". The Install thencloses.

3) Perform the following steps to launch the GUI install

a. Open a Terminal window

b. Enter the following command (replace 10.1.014 with your Compilerversion, if different)

cd /Volumes/product folder

Example for Fortran Compiler: /Volumes/m_fc_p_10.1.014

Example for C++ Compiler: /Volumes/m_cc_p_10.1.014

c. Enter the command below (replace the 10.1.014 distribution package name with your Compiler's distribution package name, if different)

open -a install ./setup/dist_fc_10.1.014.mpkg

NOTE: For C++ Compiler, use the following format

open -a install ./setup/dist_cc_10.1.014.mpkg

d. Product install should be launched.

e. Continue with the GUI install, clicking "Install" when that button is presented, or on other windows, "Continue", "Accept",or "OK" as appropriate.

f. If your installation appears to have suceeded in an Xcode* 3.0 environment, but the Intel Fortran Comp iler (or Intel C++ Compiler) does not appear on any compiler options, restart your system to get the links to Xcode* to embed properly. Then verify that your Xcode* 3.0 interface gives you access to the Intel Fortran Compiler.

Resolving installation and build problems on Ubuntu 7.10
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Please review information at the link below that speaks to the installation of our compilers on Unbuntu/Debian OS.

<<http://support.intel.com/support/performancetools/sb/CS-025939.htm>>

2. The following error message during installation has been seen by some customers with the compiler on the 7.10 version of Ubuntu, which occurs even is gcc, g++ and libstdc++ are installed.

../install.sh: line 332: 10101 Floating point exception(core dumped) $install_prog $@

The following workaround has corrected this problem for many customers:

Specify option 2 during the install and provide the install with a path to your license file. When you registered your product serial number, the Intel Registration Center emailed you a .lic license file which you should place in the /opt/intel/licenses/ directory file path on your system.

3. Please ensure you have one of the gcc versions mentioned in the Compiler Release Notes html document that was included with your installation. For example:

Linux Developer tools component installed, including gcc 3.2.3, 3.3, 3.4, 4.1, 4.11, g++ and related tools

So if you have at least one of these versions indicated in the Release Notes, it should work.

If you do not have the compatibility libraries, you may get a link time or runtime error as the compiler runtime system relies on them. We advise you to check your system installation instructions on how to install the libraries, but the thread below on the Ubuntu forums may be helpful.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3620521

4. For the "license checkout" aspect of the installation, the output for the "ldd" command should be as follows:

$ ldd ./chklic.em64t
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0x00d86000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00c8a000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00caf000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00b57000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00c84000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00b3e000)
$ file chklic.em64t
chklic.em64t: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
$

Which ldd version are you using? This could b e the source of your error.

5. A way to verify that chklic.em64t is really the problem is to execute it from the shell prompt. All it does is search for licenses on your system and print them out. If the ldd command indicates that you do have the libraries that chklic.em64t requires, it "should" run.

Please rerun the install.sh script after setting the LOCAL_INSTALL_VERBOSE environment variable. Here is how to do that from the bash shell using the script command that will collect the output:

a) Export verbose variable

> export LOCAL_INSTALL_VERBOSE=1

b) Start the recording process

> script /tmp/my_install_record.txt

c) Etart the install process

> sudo ./install.sh

d) Exit the recording process

> exit

e) e) Review the my_install_record.txt file to verify the "chklic" problem.

6. Errors like the following occurs during installation if the basic GNU compiler, binutils and IA-32 libraries are *not* installed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Problem encountered executing CHKLIC_32_64 utility located here:
/home/ebravo/others/intel64-fortran/l_fc_p_10.1.008_intel64/data/chklic.em64t

The CHKLIC_32_64 program data/chklic.em64t requires these libraries:
no es un ejecutable din?mico

Please consult the installation guide (INSTALL.txt or INSTALL.htm),
the Pre-install FAQ (Preinstall_FAQ.htm), and the Release Notes,
located in the /home/ebravo/others/intel64-fortran/l_fc_p_10.1.008_intel64 directory, to ensure that you have the necessary system files and are installing on a supported operating system.

Exiting installation program.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In Ubuntu-ease, to install these packages, you need to execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

To make certain you avoid the libstc++.so.5 issue, please be sure to execute this command:

sudo apt-get install libstdc++5

7. If you also received this installation error message, it is correct:

"Since this is an Intel 64 platform system, this will require installation of the proper 32-bit compatibility libraries for this operating system."

Intel C++ and Fortran 10.x compilers are linked to the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 library by design.

You may need to install the Standard C++ library compatibility RPM, compat-libstdc++, which provides the required /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 library.

8. Did you source the ifo rtvars.sh (or .csh)? Could you check the setting of LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

If you receive an fortcom error when you build your application, this suggests the compiler could not find the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5. LD_LIBRARY_PATH controls what is searched so if the .so wasn't found, that means LD_LIBRARY_PATH isn't set as required.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH should contain at least /usr/lib. The other command you can use is ldd like this:

ldd /APPS/IFT/scripts/bin/fortcom

This will show if the compiler will be able to find all it's dependant .so libs or not. If the compiler can't find a dependant .so, it will be obvious in the ldd output.

9. Please be sure to check the Compiler Release Notes html file for your specific Compiler version to ensure you are running with a correct level of gcc, the Linux kernel, and the Linux compatibility libraries, which is documented in the System Requirements section.

Using Intel Compilers under Ubuntu 8.04

In order to use Intel Compilers ( Fortran or C++ ) under Ubuntu 8.04 you will need the latest 10.1 version of the Intel compiler(s). Older 10.0 and 9.1 versions of the compilers may not work properly under Ubuntu 8.04.

If you have active support for your compiler, you can download the latest 10.1 version from
https://registrationcenter.intel.com

BEFORE YOU INSTALL Intel Fortran for Linux or Intel C++ for Linux on your fresh Ubuntu Desktop 8.04 installation, you will need to install several packages to prepare the system to serve as a development platform:

Check that gcc is installed. By default, Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop installs gcc 4.2.3-2ubuntu7. Check this with:

gcc --version

If, for some reason, you do not have gcc installed, use Synaptic Package Manager (under 'System' -> 'Administration' menus) OR use apt-get to install gcc.

Next, install g++. This is not installed by default. Again, use Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get to install package "g++"

Next, you need to install the 32bit compatibility library libstdc++.so.5. To do this, use apt-get or Synaptic Package Manager to retrieve and install package
"libstdc++5"

This package may require installing another package as a prerequisite,
"gcc-3.3-base"

If so, go ahead and install this older gcc package.

Once this is complete, you are ready to start the Intel compiler(s) installation. During the installation, you will get a message "Detected operating system Debian* (generic) is not supported", followed by

"Would you like to perform an unsupported install of this product [yes/no] (no)?"

enter "yes"

This will complete the installation.

Please keep in mind that as of version 10.1.015, Ubuntu 8.04 is UNSUPPORTED. This means we have not fully tested and do not support Ubuntu 8.04. Use at your own discretion.
