Intel Fortran Compiler 9 on Ubuntu Dapper

[mhadian]

Hi

I am migrating from Ubuntu 5.10 to its new version Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper). i got a problem during installation of IFC 9 which says the following packages are not found:

libstdc++

libgcc

glibc

while i have these packages instead:

libstdc++6

libgcc1

and i can not find glibc in synaptic and there is only glibc-doc (!!!!)

is there any solution for this problem?

i think it will be very useful if IFC developers present this compiler for Ubuntu since it is the most popular distribution.

Thanks in advance,

Hadian

ifort relies on 'g++ --print-search-dirs' to find those libraries. I doubt Ubuntu treats g++ much differently from other versions of linux. It's up to you to install a satisfactory version of g++, and to use ifort 9.1 if you want it to work with g++ 4. Most linux distros provide g++ as part of gcc development system installation option, some requiring additional stuff on 64-bit OS, like 32-bit or "legacy" compiler support, and "compatibility" libraries.
Perhaps ifort should issue a more complete diagnostic, such as "no working g++ found on PATH" or a report of which version of g++ is seen, etc. If you think that would be helpful, you could propose it by filing an issue on premier.intel.com.

I installed Ubuntu dapper for 32 bit machine on my AMD64 machine and tried to install IFC 9. this time i got this error:
"install_fc.sh can't identify your machine type, glibc, or kernel."

synaptic shows that g++ ver:4.0.3-1 is installed.
i do not know how to find the version of glibc. i think it is not possible not to have glibc.

could anybody let me know how to manage this problem?

If you file a problem report on premier.intel.com, you may get advice on how to attempt to get better diagnostics on what went wrong. However, you don't appear to like my advice; in case you missed it, I suggested you try
g++ --print-search-dirs
and make sure that you are installing ifort 9.1.033. In addition, you should try
rpm -qa glibc
uname -a
as you would have to do to file a problem report, to see if ifort has an obvious reason for the reported failure.
As you can see, one of the reasons for supported being limited to a few linux distributions is that other distributions may not work in the expected way. If you investigated, you might find that an update to Ubuntu or a bug report might be indicated.

The g++ executable is installed in /usr/bin as g++-4.0 going into that directory and running: sudo ln -s g++-4.0 g++
Will resolve the issue ...

Paraphrasing a line from the early text game ADVENTURE, "Linux: a maze of twisty little passages, all different".

i found the way to solve this problem in ubuntu forume.
you should change the line

RPM_NOT_FOUND=$?

to

RPM_NOT_FOUND=1

in install_fc.sh script. the complete explanation is here:

I am migrating from Ubuntu 6.06 (dapper) to its new version Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy). I got a problem when I am trying to use Intel Fortran compiler 9.

This error appear

export: 27: Illegal option -n

Before upgrading ubuntu compiler work very well.

Thanks in advance
