Intel Fortran v10.0.1 and Gcc 4.2

[Balamurugan_R_]

Hi

Software Configuration:
OS: RedHat AS4 update 5
Kernel: 2.6.9
Glibc: 2.3.4

GCC:
a. 3.4.6-8
b. 4.2 (compiled)

Intel Compilers
Intel Fortran em64t version of the intel compiler Build 20070809 Package ID: l_fc_c_10.0.026.

Problem:
When I try to compile a simple test f90 program with the intel fortran compiler with GCC v4.2 PATH sourced, it exits showing '-cxxlib-gcc' not supported with the current installed GCC
[bala@n200 FORTRAN]$ ifort test.f90
ifort: error #10149: option '-cxxlib-gcc' not supported with the current installed GCC

But it compiles without any problem if GCC3.4 is sourced.

Any help would be appreciated

As you likely know, GCC 4.2 and later no longer support -cxxlib-gcc. That may have been dropped before 4.2, I'm not sure.

The 10.0.026 release may not completely function with GCC 4.2. We only officially test/support up to GCC 4.11 with our latest 10.1 release.

I guess your alternatives are:

- Continue using GCC 3.4 and the ifort 10.0.026

- Try specifying the -cxxlib option to override ifort 10.0.026 asserting -cxxlib-gcc

- Perhaps the better (and recommended) alternative is to upgrade your compiler to the latest 10.1 update, l_fc_p_10.1.017 which does not assert this option and offers a better chance of working with GCC 4.2.
