IMSL & Fortran

[anlin168]

I just boughtIMSL and Fortran and tried to install them on my computer. However after I open the commend window, I got an error message as following:

Unable to find Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 or highrt.

Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications will not function properly.

What should I do with this, did I miss some steps in the installation?

Thanks

What is the name and version number of the product you bought? Did you get a CD or did you download? If download, what is the filename of the download?

Steve,

There is a known problem with installing IVF on some machines. I have an outstanding issue (442283) in which I get the same message trying to install IVF on a machine without MSVS2005. Bonnie & Kevin on Premier Support have some work arounds which have helped some users (unfortunately, on the particular machine, I am still not there yet).

David,

Thanks for the comment, but circumstances can vary and I'd like to understand the problem. I looked at your issue and it is different from the one in this thread. Also I see that Bonnie is waiting for you to provide information she requested.

An-Lin,

Please uninstall the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler (you do not need to uninstall IMSL.) Log in to the Intel Registration Center and download w_fc_p_10.1.011.exe and install that. (This is a 250MB download, but it includes the necessary Visual Studio pieces.)

If after installing this you still have the problem, please contact Intel Premier Support.

Thank you Steve, I can compile ordinary f90 code now. But when I want to try if IMSL works, I will get a lot of error messages. For example I tried to compile the following code (an example from the Manual). Did I miss some steps in the compiling window? I read the manual and think I might need to type imslfnl600infnlsetup.bat before I type ifort myprog.f90. Is that true? I did and failed again with error message: 'C:program' is not recognized as an internal or external commend, operable program or batch file. Can you tell me where went wrong? Thank you very much

You don't say what the error messages are. I'm going to assume they are link errors. Try adding the following two lines after the PROGRAM statement:

include 'link_fnl_static.h'
!DEC$ OBJCOMMENT LIB:'libguide.lib'

The first of these says to link against the IMSL static libraries, the second adds another library that is required. You do not need to run a separate IMSL setup if you use the Intel-supplied "Build Environment" shortcut or ifortvars.bat to start your build session.

Steven, I tried to include the two lines but the same error show up:

Check the quote marksin your print statement. I see `y =`

and I think it should be 'y ='.

The"wrong" quote is the one that shows up on the same key as the ~.

Try the other one, which shows up on the same key as the ".

[anlin168]

Thank you jparsly and Steve, the software seems working fine now.

That's an unfortunate problem when copying and pasting code from the manuals, as often the word processing software tries to "help" too much and changes quotes.
