My computer is Dell optiplex 330. I want to install intelfortran 9.1.052 for linux on my machine.

but this info appeared:

install_fc.sh can't identify your machine type, glibc, or kernel.

This product is supported for use with the following combinations :

machine type kernel glibc
3. EM64T 2.4.212.3.2
EM64T 2.6.x. 2.3.x
EM64T2.6.x. 2.4.x

x. Exit

If you would you like to perform an unsupported install of this product, enter the number corresponding
to the platform most similar to yours. Otherwise, enter "x" to exit :

Could anyone please tell me how should I do? thanks.

Which distribution and version of Linux are you running? Is this a 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) Linux variant? Did you want the 64-bit version of the compiler specifically?

The red hat enterprise linux 5.3 for desktop. The cpu is EM64T 64-bit. Yes this intel fortran compiler 9.1.052is 64 bit for linux.

I just checked the Release Notes document for 9.1.052. It is supported on RHEL 3 or 4. RHEL 5.3 is just too new.
You can either get a newer version of Intel Fortran or go back to an older RHEL that is supported (3 or 4). But I'd just go ahead and select option 3 from your choices and see if 9.1 will work even though it is not supported.

You have ignored the question about whether you are running 32- or 64-bit linux. The former will not support the Intel64 (64-bit compiler) even though the hardware is suitable.
