ifort: error #10149: option '-cxxlib-gcc' not supported with the current installed GCC

[jaminkoo]

I have been using ifort for several months. But today I ran into this issue.

ifort: error #10001: could not find directory in which g++ resides

So I looked it up and set GXX_ROOT to:
setenv GXX_ROOT /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.2/

Then I am getting a different error.
ifort: error #10149: option '-cxxlib-gcc' not supported with the current installed GCC

If you have cxxlib-gcc in your ifort command, you should remove it. There never was a cxxlib-icc option in the x86_64 compilers, so the acceptance of the option string has been removed. cxxlib-gcc simply means that if you call any C++ STL functions, the Dinkumware library won't be used, even if it is available.
Normally, you would have your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH set so that g++ is working, as a prerequisite to using ifort.

Thanks for your answer.
I actually just resolved it now, but I am not sure how it is related to the error message.

I just had to clear /tmp directory. It was full.
When I tried compiling something with gcc, it complained that /tmp was full.

[TimP]

So it selected the wrong error message for the case of full /tmp ?

[jaminkoo]

Yes.
after removing files from /tmp, it worked fine.

There is a KB article about this error - http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/cdiag10149/

A possible reason in this case is that full /tmp path causes g++ fail to run and make ifort mistake g++ not accessible by the user account.
