I have the following ifort directories in usr/bin:

ifort-9.1-base
ifort-9.1.035-base
ifort-10.0-base
ifort-10.0.016-base
ifort-11.0-base
ifort-11.0.056-base
ifort-11.0.064-base

I want to uninstall all except the most recent. Only the v. 11.0 directories have an uninstall shell script. What do I do with the others?

Thanks!

If you do an ls -ld /usr/bin/ifort* you'll see these are symbolic links:

$ ls -ld ifort*
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 Apr 16 12:15 ifort -> /usr/bin/ifort-11.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 42 Apr 10 08:27 ifort-11.0 -> /usr/bin/ifort-11.0-base/bin/intel64/ifort

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 28 Jan 28 14:07 ifort-11.1.015-base -> /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/015

So simply remove these links in /usr/bin. Then simply rm -Rf /opt/intel/fc(e)/ directories in /opt/intel. Now if you want to check on licenses, these are stored in ls /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses. These are simple text files, so you can see if there are any old ones you want to remove. Typically you'll want to leave those around - they are small and mostly harmless.

The fact that the uninstall is not removing these links in /usr/bin is a bug - I'll write up a bug report on it. (in my case, I only have 1 11.1 compiler and 1 11.0 compiler installed). UPDATE - this is fixed in the latest 11.1 beta compiler.

Thanks Ronald. I haven't run the uninstall scripts yet so there may not be a bug. I forgot that the installation was in /opt/intel rather than in usr/bin. Thanks again for your help.

Joe
