I want to install a code which neads Intel Fortran compiler version 7 and MKL version 5 on my linux system.
I looked for them in the Intel premier but I couldn't find them.
Please give me a sign.
Thanks

Those older versions are no longer available and are not expected to function on newer Linux distributions. The current versions are Intel Fortran 11.1 and MKL 10.2.

Just curious, what code are you installing that requires such old versions and what Linux distribution are you using?

I want to install vasp.4.6 on Suse.11.0. This code needs Intel Fortran Compiler with the ifc command (FC= ifc).
I changed it to the ifort but I got the following error:
ifort -FR -lowercase -01 -tpp7 -xW -prefetch -prev_div -unroll0 -e95 -vec_report3 -c -fft3dilb.f90
ifort: command line remark # 10148 : option '-tp' not supported.

You're better served using Intel Fortran 11.1 on this newer distro. I doubt Intel Fortran 7.x would even function, but I don't what issuesyou mightface with Vasp 4.6 and the newer compiler.

As for the message, that is only a command-line remark and the compiler is ignoring the option, but -tpp7 (and other variants) were deprecated back in the 9.x release. You can just remove the option. Its no longer needed.

I don't know what processor type your system contains, but can also drop -xW if you're using an Intel 64 processor based system and the Intel 64 compiler.

I also just noticed others that change with ifort 11.1:

"-prev_div" should be "-prec-div"
"-prefetch" should be "-opt-prefetch"
"-vec_report3" should be "-vec-report3"
"-unroll0" should be "-unroll=0"
