Hi all,
I'm trying to installIntel Fortran Compiler (l_fcompxe_intel64_2011.0.084) on my newly installed Fedora 14 partition but installer warn me this compiler is not suitable for Fedora 14.
- Is there any update or smt to avoid that issue or do I have to install older versions of Fedora?
- Installer has an option saying that "go on installation ignoring the issue, is there anypossibilityof running without problem ?
Thanks

The warning simply says that the compiler has not been tested on the OS version that you are installing into.
In my experience, I have never had a problem with any issue of the Intel Fortran compiler running on a newer release of OpenSuse Linux than the published latest-supported version.
Unless you rely on Premier Support, I think that you may go ahead and install on Fedora 14, but be prepared for a slim chance that you may run into problems.
With serendipity, before you run into that problem Intel will have issued an update that is approved for Fedora 14.

Correct. We have officially supported distributions and versions listed in the ReleaseNotes. We play a constant game of catch up with the distributions, usually in our Update releases. So for OFFICIAL support, you're supposed to stick with what is in the release notes. But if you do run into a problem, let me know. I need to update my Knowledge Base article for Fedora installation soon. You'll find a link to that article on installation on Fedora in the links at the top of this forum - read through that first for general guidelines on older FC versions.
And there is the issue with newer distros removing the glibc static libraries, making -static and -fast not work by default (until you locate and install the static versions of glibc for the distro). It'll be interesting to see how the community reacts to the removal of static libs by default. This due to an attempt in the linux community to promote dynamic linking. This argument has been ongoing and heated for years.
good hunting, let me know if you find any issues with FC14
