ifort not working?

[sramanujam]

Yesterday I installed Intel Fortran Compiler 10.0 for Linux (Fedora 8) in my computer. The installation was successful and I compiled one of the sample fortran code came with the compiler. But today something has happened to my comp. When I try to run some other sample code, I am getting an error message that says ifort : - command not found. Why am I getting this error message today, but not yesterday? How can I run the fortran codes again?

Did you use the "source" command to make ifort available? You must do this for each new session.

hi steve
thank you for your response. i used 'source' and now it is working. but doing this for each new session is a bit difficult. is there a way to automate this?
Jam.

I'm not a Linux expert, but I'd think you should be able to do this in the .login script, yes?

am also a newbie to linux! i tried googling for '.login script' but couldn't find much information. thanks by the way steve, i'll pose this question in linux forum and will try to post the response here.

Any search engine should produce plenty of information on this subject, e.g. 'bash login script' or 'tcsh login script' to mention 2 of the more popular choices.
You could include 'source /opt/intel/fce/10.1.015/bin/ifortvars.sh' in .bash_profile, for example, or ask which of multiple ifort installations should be selected.
