I have UBUNTU 8.10 on an Intel Core2 Duo CPU T9400 @ 2.53GHz
During the installation of l_cprof_p_11.0.074 package, it says:

Cannot determine which operating system is running. Supported operating systems
for this release include:
- Asianux* 3.0
- Debian* 4.0
- Fedora* 9
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 3, 4, 5
- SGI ProPack* 5 (IA-64 and Intel 64 only)
- SuSE Linux* Enterprise Server* 9, 10
- Turbo Linux* 11
- Ubuntu* 8.04 (IA-32 and Intel 64 only)


System glibc or kernel version not supported or not detectable.
Supported glibc/kernel versions:
architecture kernel glibc
IA-32 2.4 2.2.93, 2.3.2
IA-32 2.6 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6
IA-64 2.4 2.3.2
IA-64 2.6 2.3, 2.4
Intel 64 2.4 2.3.2
Intel 64 2.6 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6


Binutils version not supported or not detectable.
Supported versions are greater than 2.13.

Those warnings are defined as "Missing Optional Pre-requisite" but I stopped installation. What do I have to do? Can I keep on installing the Intel Fortran Compiler ?
thanks Stefano

scroll down into these tips and find the 'Ubuntu 8.04' installation. Follow the guidance there, 8.10 is essentially the same.

THEN once you have all the pre-requisite software, go through the installation again. If you get any complaints from the installer, choose 'ignore' and push forward with the install. You should be fine.

In addition to the packages mentioned, you may wish to install JRE 1.6 from Sun.

In my experience, ifort/idb requires sun-java jre 1.6, as Ron suggests. Other Intel products are requiring jre 1.5. So, I have both installed. If these are available on your linux software installation/update menus, choose those versions; consider removing earlier ones. If not, use Sun web site installation, taking care to choose 32- or 64-bit according to your OS installation.
