error when installing Fortran Composer XE 2011 upd 1 on a Mac

[alanford]

I'm getting an odd error message when trying to install Fortran composer XE 2011 Update 1 on a
macbook pro running OS X Version 10.6.5. I'm running the installer by opening the disk image and double-clicking on the installer package. It starts, but then gives me an error message stating "Could not run startup script - Error while executing the startup script. Make sure that you have write permissions to /tmp folder and /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Intel/Licenses folder".

The /Users/.../Licenses folder doesn't exist and the installer may have been trying to create it. The release notes state that administrative privileges are all that is necessary to do the install, but the installer didn't ask for a password. I get the feeling that something isn't working right.

Any suggestions? I searched the forum and didn't find anything similar to this. The installation package that I'm using is m_fcompxe_2011.1.122.mpkg. I tried running the installer package from the command line using sudo and that didn't work. I can't imagine that I have to activate the root account just to install software, hence my concern.

Thanks,
Alan Ford

Not that it helps, but I've got exactly the same problem with the same version of installer on OSX 10.6.5 on MacBook Pro.

Problem solved this way:

1)sudo mkdir /Users/Shared/Library/Application\ Support/Intel

2)sudo mkdir /Users/Shared/Library/Application\ Support/Intel/Licenses

3) sudochmod -R a+rw /Users/Shared/Library/Application\ Support/Intel/Licenses

4) copied my license file there

After the above actions the installer started without the error.
