Intel Fortran Compiler for Mac OS 10.5 Tiger?

[thomaspatko]

I have some programs that need to be compiled from source using a good Fortran compiler for Mac OS (computational chemistry programs specifically) and I understand that Intel is currently the best option available.

Has anyone tested the current version of the Intel Fotran compiler 10 for Mac OS on a beta (developer) release of Tiger with the new version of XCode?

I do not want to purchase the current student version (as it does not come with updates per my understanding) unless it will work on Tiger as I plan to upgrade shortly.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The Intel Premier Support site works for me at the moment.

I'd suggest getting the current compiler version as the one you have has had issues on Leopard.

I found the problem and my code is working fine now. Here is the problem: I first install Build 20080312 from the DVD Intel sent me. Doing "ifort -V" returned "Intel Fortran Compiler for applications running on Intel I32". Next, I reinstalled the SAME build from the Intel Website. Now, "ifort -V" is returning "Intel Fortran Compiler for applications running on Intel 64" and everything is working! Note that I am always using the "-m32" switch in my configuration scripts. There is something I miss in the installation process.

Intel compilers don't observe the -m32 switch, which selects gnu 32-bit compilation and linking. Intel 32- or 64-bit compilers are installed in separate directories, selected by setting environment variables, as by the corresponding ifortvars and iccvars scripts. gcc -m32 will work in mixed builds only with the ifort 32-bit.
