Problem installing fortran compiler on ubuntu 9.04

[faustomr]

Good morning.
I'm a new member in this forum. I've installed the Intel Fortran Compiler on a 64 bitsubuntu 9.04 laptop. When I try to compile a program,I havethe following error message :

/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/059/bin/ia32/fortcom: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: o such file or directory
ifort: error #10273: Fatal error in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/059/bin/ia32/fortcom, terminated by 0x7f

Can you help me? I don't know what to do..
Thank you.

Did you install the 32- and 64-bit libstdc++-33 or 32-bit libraries as advised in the posts on this forum and in the document on Ubuntu installation presented on the forum header page? Normally, this problem would be flagged by the installer, although you may be entitled to complete the installation without correcting it.

Dear faustomr
I face this problem in my fedora core 32 bit machine, but a simple google search gives compat-libstdc++ rpm file, which solves the problem. For your case, I found the entry , which I think will solve the problem, with changing version number for ubuntu.
As Tim said, and you must have noticed, while installing, ifort warns that the kernel and gcc is not fully compatible, and this causes this behaviour.

Hello!

I'm having a similar problem with ifort (l_cprof_p_11.1.059_intel64.tgz) on Ubuntu 9.10. An error appears in the dependencies -32. For example, it is requested the libstdc++.so.5. In the architecture of Ubuntu 9.10 this lib is already obsolete. He uses the library libstdc++.so.6.

Does anyone know how to solve this problem? or when will we have a new version of ifort, considering these new dependencies ...?

Thank you!

Wesley

The preferred method, as explained over and over again in posts on this forum, and in the document on Ubuntu installation, is to add the libstc++.so.5 or libstdc++-33 to your installation. gcc will continue to use the newer one, even when you link a mixture of ifort and gcc objects, while ifort itself runs on the older one.
As long as the "supported" distros continue to offer the optional older libstdc++, and ifort continues to support Red Hat 4 and gcc-3, this situation is likely to remain.
