Linking Problem

[devaborah]

My company Woolpert, Inc. purchased the Intel Fortran Compiler Professional Edition for Windows (Incl. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Edition) for me. I need it to develop, compile, and run Fortran source codes. I am trying to start with an old source code, last compiled in 2002 using 1998 DIGITAL Visual Fortran Professional Edition.

I have been trying to compile my old Fortran source code and every time get the following error message:

ifort: error #10037: could not find 'link'

We downloaded three versions of the program hoping that one would work.

First download: w_cprof_p_11.0.074.exe

Second download: w_cprof_p_11.0.074_ia64.exe

Final download: w_cprof_p_11.0.074_ia32.exe

So far, I am getting the same error message:

ifort: error #10037: could not find 'link'

Please help!

Sincerely,

Deva Borah

Exit Visual Studio. Open the folder C:Program FilesIntelDownloadFortranCompilerPro11.0.074installs1033w_cprof_vs2005 Run ppe.exe in that folder. If it offers a "Repair" option, take that, otherwise let it install.

That helped another user.

You did not want the _ia64.exe download but it probably doesn't hurt, other than disk space. That's for Intel Itanium systems.

Are you trying to build a 32-bit or 64-bit application?

Thanks for the prompt reply! I apologize for my delayed response.

I followed the installation instructions above and reinstalled it. When I tried to compile the program again using:

ifort C:W_DWSMDWSMHydroSed.for

it gave the same error:

ifort: error #10037: could not find 'link'

I alsogot the following information along with the error message:

Intel Visual Fortran Compiler Professional for applications running on IA-64, Version 11.0 Build 20090318 Package ID: w_cprof_p_11.0.074

Our computer staff told me that my computer is fit fora 32-bit application.

Thanks and look forward to yourfurther help!

Ok, that explains it. Please use the "Fortran Build Environment for Applications running on IA-32" shortcut to start your command prompt session.

THANKS A LOT STEVE! IT WORKED

Great! Now, uninstall the IA-64 compiler so you won't trip over it again. This is for building programs that run on Intel Itanium processors.

Thanks Steve! How could I selectively andsafely uninstall the IA-64 compiler?

You should find a separate entry for it in Add or Remove Programs.
