Installation Problems

I have recently installed the Intel Fortran Compiler on a Fedora Cluster as root and the installation went fine without any problems and I can compile and run codes as root. But when any other user tries to use a simple command like "ifort" we get the following error:

Error: A license for FCompL could not be obtained (-1,359,2).

Is your license file in the right location and readable?
The location of your license file should be specified via
the $INTEL_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.

License file(s) used were (in this order):
1. /opt/intel/licenses/l_for_95967801 (Fortran).lic
2. /opt/intel/licenses/l_for_95967801.lic
3. /opt/intel_fc_80/licenses/l_for_95967801.lic
4. /opt/intel_fc_80/bin/*.lic

Please visit http://support.intel.com/support/performancetools/support.htm if you require technical assistance.

ifort: error: could not checkout FLEXlm license

I have set the $INTEL_LICENSE_FILE variable in the user .bash_profile to be /opt/intel_fc_80/licenses/l_for_*******.lic and also in the user profile I set up

source /opt/intel_fc_80/bin/ifortvars.sh
But everything works normal as root, could someone suggest what I am doing wrong or if the license only works for one user (free download for linux) and since I installed as a root it only works for root.

Thanks.

I know this has been seen before, but I don't remember what the solution was. Please follow the instructions in the message and report the problem to Intel Premier Support where you'll get quick help.
