ifort under suse 11

[jabsy]

Hello everyone!!

I just installed ifort on my Suse linux 11.1/64bit. I managed to pass through the libstdc++.so.5 missing issue (installing libstdc++33-32bit), but the installer couldn't recognize my OS, glibc or binutils versions (which are BTW, 2.6.27.19-3.2-default, 2.9-2.11.1 and 2.19 respectively). I opted for continuing the installation ignoring those warnings and it finished stating that all the components were sucessfully installed. I also checked the folders/files structure and everything seems to be there, my question is:

Should I expect any surprises or erratic behavior from the compiler, or it will work properly?

Thanks in advance,

Joo

Didn't you or someone just ask this question?
Clearly, your glibc and possibly g++ are too new to have undergone full testing with ifort prior to ifort release. You have a good chance, but no independent assurance, that it will work OK, if you don't exercise link options which depend on recognition of the binutils version. If you do exercise such options, you ought to get a warning.
The binutils 2.19 and 2.19.50 may have been tried by more people, even though they are too new to be included in the formal ifort testing, as they are needed to support some of the Core i7 options (which you apparently don't need). I use binutils 2.19.50 with OpenSuSE 10.3, SLES10.2, and Red Hat.
I think your title is misleading; there is a difference between SLES/SLED 11.0 and OpenSuSE 11.1. The former ought eventually to get full testing with some future ifort, while the latter likely will not, so the installer complaints are likely to continue.

It could have been me twice, sorry! Anyway, thank you very much for you reply. So far all seems to be working, since I managed to build mpich2 libraries for ifort and run my model in parallel using distributed memory. Indeed, my title was misleading... I meant Open Suse 11.1.
