MKL on ubuntu

[jand1]

I am trying to install the MKL on ubuntu Gutsy. I managed to get the compiler up and running but the install script crashes with:

Please type a selection or Serial Number: XXXX-XXXXXXXX

The Intel Software Setup Assistant may attempt to connect to the
Intel Registration Center to validate your Serial Number. This may take
several minutes depending on your network. Please wait...

You may press Ctrl+C to cancel.
./install.sh: line 332: 14577 Floating point exception$install_prog $@


Does anyone have a clue what is going on? Did anyone manage to install the latest MKL on Gutsy?

Thanks, Jan
