intsalling intel compiler on ubuntu 10.10

[varsh]

Hello,

I am new to installing the intel C++ composer XE for linux. I use latest version of ubuntu 10.10. I proceeded as instructed in the release notes of the compiler. I found that it give error "missing prerequisites" and then I looked for details and saw that it requires ubuntu 10.04. I have already installed 10.10 on my system. Is there any way to rectify this problem. How can I install intel XE composer on ubuntu10.10 without reinstalling it?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Varsh

Take the "missing prerequisites" warnings with a pinch of salt. If the missing prerequisites include GCC and BinUtils, by all means install those. In fact, before installing Intel compilers check that you can compile and execute small C and C++ programs using GCC/G++.

Tell the installer to ignore missing prerequisites and finish installing. Then, test that you can compile and execute small C and C++ programs using the Intel compiler.
