Installation problem

[karsten-hansen]

Hi,
I just installed IVF for Windows v.10.1.024 and am trying to build the LAPACK and BLAS wrappers for the MKL library. When I open a DOS window to run the NMAKE it says "The specified configuration type is missing. The tools for the configuration might not be installed" and it cannot find the NMAKE batch file. Has anyone experience this? It seems it didn't install right?

How are you opening the "DOS Window"? It should be Start > Programs > Intel Software Development Tools > Intel Fortran Compiler 10.1.024 > Fortran Build Environment for applications running on IA-32 (assuming 32-bit). If you are choosing Intel 64 instead, which version and edition of Visual Studio do you have? What is displayed when you first open the window?

Steve,
thanks for responding. Yes - that is exactly what I do (I chose the 64 bit version). In the window it says Version 10.1.024.

I need all the information I asked for:

- The complete text that is displayed when you first open the window
- Which version and edition of Visual Studio you have

If you have the Professional or higher edition of VS2005 or 2008, you probably do not have the "X64 Compiler and Tools" component installed as they are not the default. This is called out in the Fortran installation guide. I would have expected you to also see an error message during the Fortran install. If this is the case, do this:

1. From Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 (or 2008) > Change/Remove. The Visual Studio Maintenance Mode window will appear. Click Next.
2. Click Add or Remove Features
3. Under Select features to install, expand Language Tools > Visual C++
4. If the box X64 Compiler and Tools is not checked, check it, then click Update. If the box is already checked, click Cancel.

Steve,
thanks - that did the trick. I must have missed this part in the installation guide.
