unable ton install ifort 11.0.83

[kapoiosmalakas]

Hallo everyone!

I used to have ifort 11.0.7x on my machine. At some point I uninstalled it using the uninst.sh script. Today I wanted to try ifort again so I downloaded ifort11.0.83 but it doesnot install as it keeps saying:

nitializing, please wait...

If you want to reinstall the Intel Fortran Compiler Professional Edition for

please uninstall current version and run install script again.

I am running linux ia-64 and I am trying to do a user installation (as was the previous one).
I would deeply appreciate it if someone could help me.

Not entirely sure what kind of help you want. If you deleted the previous compiler without performing an rpm uninstall, as the uninstall script should do, you may need to clean up rpmdb, e.g.
rpm -qa | grep intel
will show you any intel software remaining in rpmdb. Then you could use run 'rpm -e' against any of those entries you want to remove.

I have seen this odd behavior in the past when I had a non-root installation in my home directory. Check your home directory for 'opt/intel' or 'intel/' directories and remove those if you find them. Also, check /tmp for any leftover log files.

After searching around directories and trying to unsderstand what is going on, I "noticed" that the version I was trying to install in my home directory was also installed on the system for every user under /opt/intel. I guess this is why it did not let me install my own copy under my home directory. I can not understand why this is, but still I guess everything works. Thanks to everyone for the replies.
