ifort: command not found

[ridox]

Hi everyone,

I am using 64bit desktop. I have recently installed ifort, Intel composerXE12 on ubuntu 11.04. just after installing, in the next step i have given the following command...

source /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.5.220/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

Everything work smoothly with the ifort command until I open a new terminal because It doesn't recognize the "ifort"anymore and gives "ifort: command not found". In order to recognize the "ifort"again i need to write the command I wrote above, and this goes for any new terminal I open.

I had tried with the intel64 and ia32 options for the compilervars.sh,compilervars_arch.sh,ifortvars.sh but nothing seems to work

Any suggestion about this problem I will appreciate it.

Thanks.

Jorge

Hello,

the "compilervars.[sh|csh]" scripts set all necessary environment variables for your shell in order to use the Intel Compiler and Libraries right away. You do so by "sourcing" this script, which is updating your current shell's environment (instead of spawning a sub-shell). It is done in a way that all sub-shells you create henceforth (manually or indirectly) inherit the same environment variables. Thus you can consistently continue to use the Intel Compiler and Libraries in the same terminal; unless you terminate the shell where you sourced the "compilervars.[sh|csh]" scripts (e.g. closing the terminal).

Opening another terminal starts with a new shell without the environment variables set for Intel Compiler and Libraries.

The original question was how to automatize this and not manually sourcing all the time. The best way is to do the sourcing in the start-up scripts of your shell (e.g. .bashrc) - please see the manual of your shell.

For Bourne shell alikes you'd do
$ source /bin/compilervars.sh

...for C shell alikes this
$ source /bin/compilervars.csh

I hope this helps you.

Best regards,

Hello,

I have followed as you said.... but, same is the result....

Is there any problem with UBUNTU-12.04 ?

[Georg_Z_Intel]

Hello,

we don't support Ubuntu* 12.04 with the current Intel Composer XE 2011 version. Only Ubuntu* 10.04 & 11.04 are supported.
Ubuntu* 12.04 will be first supported with the next major version (Intel Composer XE 2013) for which we're currently running a BETA program:

can I atleast install previous versions?

[TimP]

You're certainly entitled to try, with no guarantee of success or of full compatibility testing by Intel. Not knowing the details of Ubuntu 12, a possible issue is that g++ 4.7 compatibility is first supported by icpc in that beta version, yet that issue doesn't normally stop ifort from working.

[Steven_L_Intel1]

We've already discovered that Ubuntu 12.04 puts gnu/stubs-32.h in a non-standard location and this causes problems for the Intel compilers. I agree with Tim that older versions are unlikely to work any better.
