hello everyone :

My system is Ubuntu 8.04 (i386) , when I try to install Intel Fortran Compiler 9.1 ,
it shows :

===============================================================================
Invalid license file

Please make sure that the file you provided at /opt/intel/licenses/EVAL_xxxxxxxx......lic is a valid license file with active support for the Intel product you are trying to install. If you are installing on a native-language system other than English, please make sure that the full path to the license file uses only English characters.

===============================================================================

the license was downloaded from the e-mail of Intel mailed to me .

And , on Fedora Core 4 , everything is OK!

It's great thanks that someone can tell me how to solve this problem!

That is not a supported combination. (I assume you mean 7.04!) You need verson 10.1 (I think) for Ubuntu 7.04. Earlier compiler versions had exactly this problem on Ubuntu.

Ok, Ubuntu 8.04 is brand new. It definitely won't work with ifort 9.1. Might not even work with 10.1 - we will have to see. New Linux distributions often break existing applications, and Ubuntu seems more prone to this than some others.

For best results, please stick with the distributions and versions listed in the System Requirements for the version you're installing. Do not assume that a newer version, or different distribution will work.

You will need to download the latest 10.1 compiler from https://registrationcenter.intel.com. If you have active support, you will see the 10.1 compiler.

Before installing the Intel compiler, you will need to prepare your system. Using Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get, install these packages:

g++
libstdc++5

The libstdc++5 package installation may require installing gcc-3.3-base as well.

Now, once that is done install the Intel 10.1 compiler. The installer will complain that this is not a recognized package and ask if you wish to install anyway - select "yes" to complete the installation.
