I erased the uninstall script.

Hello all. I would appreciate any help or advice.

I installed a licensed version of ifort on a head node for a researcher. Afterwards I was told that it needed to be installed on the NFS so that the nodes could access it. I erased the directory before realizing that I had to run an uninstall script. Now the install script claims that it is already installed. I tried removing the license file and starting with a fresh unpack of the .tgz but none of it helped. It seems that this information is stored somewhere, perhaps on an Intel server? What do I do?

Thanks in advance,
Aragorn Steiger

I would bet your home dir has an intel/ subdir. If so, remove it.

I've done this myself a few times. I see this when I install as a non-root user.

Besides the possibilities Ron mentions, this message would be produced if the ifort installation appears in rpmdb. If you lost your uninstall script, you could clean up by finding the rpmdb entries, e.g.
rpm -qa | grep intel
and (as root, if so installed) running rpm -e on the entries you need to remove. You may have to remove several rpmdb entries for the same ifort installation (ifort, idb, mkl).

Hi,
Thanx for this post, it helps me a lot: I just crashed my ubuntu right after ICC installed.
I add a few words here, for case in you installed as sudoable user :
the intel/ subdir will be found from /opt/ instead of $HOME/
