SUSE EL 10 installation problem w/ fortran compiler

[atheodore]

Hello,

I'm trying to install the 64-bit version of the Intel fortran compiler on SUSE Enterprise Linux 10. I ran the install.sh and it complains that I may be missing some libraries... I've checked on the system and ran ldd against chklic.em64t but it appears that I have all of the requesite libraries. What else can I check to determine the source of installation error?

Thanks,

Alex

Without seeing the actual message received it is difficult to advise accurately on what might be the issue and how to correct it.

It is possible you may not have satisfied all the minimum software requirements to install and use the Intel compiler regardless of the ldd results on the chklic.em64t executable.

Please refer to this Support article for a detailed discussion of some possible errors that can occur during the installation and how to address them: http://support.intel.com/support/performancetools/sb/CS-026139.htm

To address an error involving the missing libstdc++.so.5 library youmust install the required compat-libstdc++ RPM that provides the /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 library, and then re-try Intel compiler installation.

Let us know if this helps or if not, then what the specific error is that you received.

The document "Release_Notes.htm", which was extracted to your installation directory, contains a list of prerequisites. Please read this for supported versions of your OS and prerequisites.

more than likely it's libstdc++.so.5 that is missing.

if this doesn't help, please post the entire error message you receive.

thanks

If you install the g++ development system option, including the 32-bit build option, on SLES10 you should have all the libraries ifort requires. There are significant differences introduced by SP1 and SP2, so it might help if you would specify.

The source of the error was because the path in which I was installing the software from had spaces in it. I renamed the directories, and the installation was successful.

Thanks for all the help,

Glad to read you resolved the issue and our apologies for the inconvenience.

This is a issue we become aware of recently and hope to address it in a future update if possible. Its rare since spaces in the path on Linux are uncommon. This is why knowing the exact error received is useful in advising on how to address the problem too.

For the benefit of other Forum users, when the path where the compiler .tgz installation image is expanded into (and from where install.sh is invoked) contains a space, such as /tmp/kdd test the installation suffers an error similar to what appears below when installing the IA-32, Intel 64, or Itanium Linux compiler:

--- ERROR ---

Problem encountered executing CHKLIC_32_64 utility /tmp/kdd test/l_fc_p_10.1.008/data/chklic.32

This could be caused by a missing library.

The CHKLIC_32_64 program chklic.32 requires these libraries:

linux-gate.so.1 =>

libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0

libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6

libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6

libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2

/lib/ld-linux.so.2

Please ensure that these libraries are installed on your system.

Exiting installation program.

Please correct the missing library problem

and run the installation program again at a later time.
