Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for Linux* now supports glibc 2.3

[Brandon_H_Intel]

All,

Please download the latest 7.1 compiler from Intel Premier Support (https://premier.intel.com/). This compiler supports glibc 2.3.2. If you have a current license with valid support services, you can install this update. If you need to purchase a new license or renew your support services, please go to the Intel Software Development Products web page at http://developer.intel.com/software/products. Please try this compiler with your application and reopen this issue or create a new issue if you still see a problem.

Thank you,

Brandon

Ack! The dangers of canned messages. Ignore the last part about issues. Sorry about that.

I don't have a premier account. Is there anyway I can get the new compiler somewhere else? Or, is the one that's for free evaluation and none commercial usage the newest one? Thanks

Downloaded the latest compiler (l_fc_pc_7.1.033.tar) and tried to install. It still complains about my glibc version and lists 2.2.x as the supported glibc versions. What am I doing wrong????

[Brandon_H_Intel]

Pay no attention to the install message bbernieb. It should be updated, but it apparently hasn't been. I'll follow up. Just install it, and it should continue to work.

As for the earlier question about where to obtain the compiler, *all* compiler updates are only available through Intel Premier Support. If you don't have an account, you should get one for that reason alone.

I should add to my last reply that even evaluation or non-commercial customers can get access to the Intel Premier Support web site. I encourage you to reregister your compilers and make sure to check the box for Intel Premier Support.

Dear blhewitt,

Thanks for the info.
Yesterday, I downloaded the free non-commercial one and installed it on my redhat workstation.
It installed fine.
But when I type 'icc' with no argument, it gives me:
"
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:77: undefined reference to `main'
"
I wonder if I MUST have to use a non-commercial version?

Thanks.

Ok. Downloaded l_cc_pc_7[1].1.030.tar and installed it.
type just 'icc' on the command line gives:

/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): In function `_start':
../sysdeps/i386/elf/start.S:77: undefined reference to `main'

what is wrong?

Thanks

Nothing is wrong - it's just saying you don't have a program. What did you want to have happen?

Sorry, I guess I posted on the wrong forum.

[Brandon_H_Intel]

Just to follow up on one of the issues here, the problem where the installation complained about glibc 2.3 not being supported is fixed in the latest compiler (l_fc_pc_7.1.035 for Fortran). You can get it at the Intel Premier Support web site.
