download, now what?

[jfgrcar]

I just downloadedl_fcompxe_intel64_2011.3.174.tar to my Downloads folder. How do I install the compiler? The email from intel said to "run the downloaded file" and proceed through the installation process. Where do I find out what the process is? Thanks in advance.

Download the Release Notes for Linux and follow the installation instructions in it.

The release notes say to untar and to issue the command ./install.sh in the top directory. The response is

mac% ./install.sh

Check, according to the release notes, that you have installed the prerequisite Mac g++ development system. Then try the install again.

And if you really did download l_fcompxe_intel64_2011.3.174.tar, go back and download m_fcompxe_intel64_2011.3.174.tar or whatever the correct name of the Mac OS X kit is. But it will not begin with l_; compler kits for Mac OS X begin with m_.

There is a lesson that one may extract from this thread. You never stated that you were interested in the Mac version, and so we were not aware that you were attempting the impossible: installing the Linux version on a Mac.

In the absence of contrary information one assumes that the poster is knowledgeable and has take reasonable steps to inform his/her-self before attempting installation. The installer that you mentioned in the first post is for Linux, and the reply that I posted was based on the assumption that the version desired was, indeed, the Linux version. However, the word Linux in my reply did not arouse any doubts in your mind and you proceeded with the installation attempt.

Providing as much pertinent specific information as possible would enable Intel software support to be more effective.

When one sees things like "mac% ./install.sh" and "intel.pset.strings.sepp.joseph-grcars-mac-mini-5.local", one becomes suspicious that Mac OS X might be involved. ;-)
