Install failed on Slackware 10.1, kernel 2.4.29, glibc 2.3.4...

[jrchaff]

Hi - I wonder if anyone has installed Intel Fortran 9.0 on Slackware 10.1 or so, or with kernel 2.4.29 / glibc 2.3.4. This combination is not one of the specific ones listed in install, but would seem to be 'within' the range of those options. Also, I have rpm 4.2* installed. I get a message, something like, "...install can't determine your system architecture...", then prompt to select an 'unsupported install'. Doing that, and typing out the default install path, /opt/intel/fc/9.0, I get the following message: ------------------------------------------------------ Intel Fortran Compiler for 32-bit applications, Version 9.0 Installing... ./.././install_fc.sh: line 2438: 5498 Segmentation fault rpm &OPTIONS$PREFIX "$CHOSENRPM" --ignorearch >&$TEMPFILE.rpmout: 2>/dev/null Installation failed. Press Enter to continue (also tries to install debugger, also fails). ----------------------------------------------------- Afterwards, I have a new 'intel' folder in /opt/, but it only contains the licenses folder, no bin, etc, no installed tree. I tried also by hitting to select the default(s) install folders. Same result, only no detailed message as above, just 'Installation failed'. I've done it by manually inserting license file (success), and by going online with serial number. Both fail. I'm running a Dell 8200 with Pentium 4, 512 mb memory, large hard disk space, working Slack 10.1 installation, logged in as root, etc. I'm not good at editing shell scripts, and I wonder if there might be a way to edit 'install.sh' or 'install_fc.sh'. Can anyone help me out ? I'm trying to avoid upgrading the kernel. Should I go back to Ifort 8.1 ? Thanks for any comments. jrc

I should have mentioned: I am trying to install version 9.0.031, noncommercial.

Thanks to Intel Premier support, I was able to successfully

install. First installed kernel 2.6.10 but still no success

installing via rpm with root privs. Then, per Intel advice,

moved tar file to my /home/ directory, unpacked, and

installed in the tree there, using command,



'./install.sh --nonrpm'



and never choosing to use root privileges. Got 'install success'

message. Then, after sourcing ../bin/ifortvars.sh to set up paths, everything worked fine.



Thanks, Intel!
