Problem installing patch l_fc_pc_8.0.039_pe040

When I execute patchinstall.sh to install this patch, I get the message that IFC Version 8.0 is installed, but then get the message that the patch cannot be installed because the baseline is not correct. Can anyone tell me how to fixthis problem and install the patch?
Iam new to Linux and IFC, so I apologize if this is a dumb question!

These patches require a working installation of the first version (8.0.039) and alter them to the final version (8.0.040). I installed the Itanium version of this one. By the time I got to the IA32 version, it was gone from the premier site. I don't know if this means it was withdrawn. My IA32 copy of 8.0.039 has a threading library different from the one intended, and has trouble with OpenMP on Red Hat EL3.
If you need to start over, for example you have a non-working installation, you must run (as root) the intel_fc_80/bin/uninstall.sh before installing the base version and then the patch. For example, I just had to go back from 8.0.40 by running uninstall, then installing 8.0.034 and the patch to 8.0.038.
I believe the patch system was instituted in an attempt to help those who don't have a super high speed line; it takes about an hour to download the full compiler by DSL around here.
