makefile can't find ifort, ifort -v returns a license error

Chris_S_4 · ‎02-27-2016

I installed Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition on my system running Ubuntu 14.04.4. I updated my .bashrc files to include /home/chris/intel/bin.

which ifort returns: /home/chris/intel/bin/ifort

However, when I try to use make to build an openmpi version of some Monte Carlo software, I get several error messages to the effect of

ifort: error #10052: could not checkout FLEXlm license
make[2]: *** [import/mars-routines-2.o] Error 1
--- import/mars-routines.o ---

Error: A license for Comp-FL is not available (-76,61026,2).

License file(s) used were (in this order):
    1.  Trusted Storage

ifort -v returns a similar message. Where should I start to fix this license issue? Thanks.

You need to:"source" the ifortvars.sh script, adding a parameter of intel64 or ia32 as appropriate.

As for the license, please log in to the Intel Registration Center and if it tells you that you need to "upgrade" your license, do that. Then save the license file on your system - ideally in /opt/intel/licenses
