Is Visual Fortran V9 compatible with core 2 duo processor?

[cristen]

I'm trying to install Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Version 9.0 for Windows on my new laptop that has a Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P8600 @ 2.4GHz processor. The install appears to go well, but am having errors when I go to compile the test code.

Is there a way to resolve this via installation options or software downloads? Or do I need a newer version of the fortran compiler?

Yes, it is compatible. You won't be able to take advantage of optimizations for Core 2 with that version, but you should not get errors just because of the processor type. Nevertheless, version 9 is old and no longer supported. 11.0 is the current version.

What are the errors?

What are the errors?

The errors are:

ifort : error: could not find 'cl'

ifort 9 requires that you also have Microsoft Visual C++ installed. Do you? This error indicates that it could not locate the Microsoft installation.

As of version 10, Intel Visual Fortran is self-sufficient.

I've tried installing it with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 installed. I get the same errors.

Version 9 does not recognize VS2008. Please install version 11 and you should be much happier. If your support license is current you can download it from the Intel Registration Center.
