Installation problems on mac

[hansl1]

Hello, I am not able to install the Fortran Compiler 10.0 on my mac book. If it comes to the "Select a licence option"-part I recieve error messages. If I select "Provide your serial number" it leads to "Intel Software Setup Assistent was unable to create the licence folder". If I select "Provide a licence file" and enter the path to the file that I recieved from Intel per mail it leads to "Setup was unable to copy the licence file xxx.lic. Please check that the path exists and you have adequate permission to perform the operation." Do you have any suggestions how to fix this? Many thanks, Hannes

I do not know if this is a factor in the absence of knowing your Mac OS X* and Xcode versions, but please ensure you are installing a compiler version that supports your version of Mac OS X* and your installed version of Xcode.

The Compiler Release notes provide specific System Requirement information. Supported Mac OS X* and Xcode combinations are provided here.

The 10.0 release supports the older Mac OS X* 10.4.9 with Xcode 2.4.1. If this is a newer Mac Pro running Mac OS X* 10.4.11 (with Xcode 2.5), or 10.5.x (with Xcode 3.1.x), then please download the latest 11.0 update (11.0.059) from the Intel Registration Center (https://registrationcenter.intel.com) and install that.

When installing the 11.0, you can try the option to use an existing license file and provide the path to the file.

As for the errors, the account used for installing must have Administrative privileges which I expect is the case as you would have to confirm such earlier in the installation.

The installation places license files into: /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses

You might check if this specific Intel/Licenses sub-directory exists, if not, that is not an immediate concern given the errors cited, but you should inspect the permissions on at least the directory: /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/

If either the Intel and/or Licenses sub-directories exist, then check their permissions to ensure there is at least owner Read/Write/Execute.

You can also simulate the installer's ability to modify these directories by using the command: sudo su and then cd into the directory of interest and try creating a new directory.

This is a serious problem. I wasted hours today on it. I was doing a clean install on a new iMac (10.5.6). Apparently, even though I was an administrative user, the /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support heirarchy was owned by "wheel". When I corrected this

cd /Users/Shared

sudo chown -R {my user name} Library

I was able to install the compiler (v 11.0.064) without any problem.

Please let the software engineers at Intel know about this.
