Intel 8.1 on 2.6 and solaris x86

Hi,

Just two quick questions, I'm about to upgrade my operating system, and want to know if the Intel 8.1 Fortran and c++ compilers will work on the newest kernel, 2.6, and glibc libraries. For instance they work on SUSE 9.0, but will they work on 9.1/9.2 or fedora 3, which have these later versions. If not could a member of Intel give an idea of when a release will?

Second, will the Intel compilers for Linux work, if I install Solaris 10 on my laptop for x86? I have no idea about this one?

Cheers

Andy

I have not seen any problems running ifort on SuSE 9.1, ia32 or x86_64. Evidently, you could turn up situations, with shared libraries, where a build may not run on a system different from the one it was linked on. I understand that full support (but maybe not full YaST install) for 9.x is planned, but there may be a few minor questions yet to be worked out for C++. I haven't run across these myself, in limited C++ and extensive Fortran usage. I'm planning to try 9.2 when I get the chance to upgrade.
Fedora is likely to work, if you don't push it too hard, but part of the plan in the Fedora series is to move ahead quickly, without ever producing a stable enough version for full support.
