Leopard broke Intel Fortran Compiler, both ver9 and 10

Intel Fortran Compiler for Mac OS X Ver 9.1 and 10.0 is broken under Leopard. It can compile code, but the created executable segfaults with messages like these.
forrtl: severe (174): SIGSEGV, segmentation fault occurred
Image PC Routine Line Source
read.out 0005B601 Unknown Unknown Unknown
read.out 0005AAA3 Unknown Unknown Unknown

The program can be as easy as:
parameter(ilon=144,ilat=73,igrid=ilon*ilat)
parameter(iday=365)
real*4 :: data(igrid), ave(igrid)
open(10,file='u.bin',form='unformatted',access='direct',recl=igrid*4)
open(11,file='u-daily.bin',form='unformatted',access='direct',recl=igrid*4)
do it = 1, 365
write(6,*) it
read(10,rec=it) data
ave = ave + data
end do
ave = ave / 365
write(11,rec=1) ave
stop
end
The program crashes at line 9 or 11 where vectorization comes into place.
I went to the Intel homepage, and they acknowledge this as a problem but they are only willing to update IFC ver10 and leave the users of ver9 in the cold.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
(At least I will leave this message up so that hopefully someone at Apple will notice.)

I haven't found this topic in the other Categories, so I'll reply here:
I'm having the same problem!!! Leopard has crashed ifort 32 bits! So I can't run my programs on my macbook core duo (32 bits), although it's ok with the ifort 64 bits version. But I really REALLY need the 32 version working on Leopard. Anyone has any clue about how to solve it? I've tried some 9.1 ifort's versions and the new 10.1 version. You can find evaluation versions on the intel's site.
Please someone help us.

  • Intel Fortran compiler broken under Mavericks

    After upgrading to OS 9 on a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro, and installing Xcode 5.0.1 on both, my Intel Fortran compiler (vs 12.0.5) no longer works.  I have updated the command line tools.  When I try compiling a source file it fails with the message:
    ifort: error #10001: could not find directory in which g++ resides
    There is a compiler option to specify the location of g++ "-gxx-name=" but this doesn't help - same error message.  I'm not sure if I need to set a system variable or if I need to go back to an earlier version of Xcode.  Has anyone managed to get their Intel Fortran compiler working under Mavericks?

  • Intel Fortran compiler - ifortbin: No such file or.. [solved]

    Dear all!
    I am running arch64 with updated packages (I updated this morning). I am trying to install the intel fortran compiler. I took the "ifort" PKGBUILD file from AUR and I edited it to use the "em64t" packages instead of the "i386" packages. The package building and the installation went fine, but when I launch ifort, I get the following error:
    /opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/bin/ifort: line 42: /opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/bin/ifortbin: No such file or directory
    /opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/bin/ifort: line 42: /opt/intel/fc/9.1.036/bin/ifortbin: Success
    Instead, I should get a message saying that I gave no input files (I had the compiler working on Suse, that's how I know).
    Does anyone know why this is happening?
    Thanks for your help

    Thank to all those who looked at the thread. It seems that even if you install a 64 bit version on a 64 bit machine, you still have to have the following packages installed:
    lib32-glibc lib32-gcc.
    Which means that the 64 bit compiler is actually designed to run in a mixed system, and not a pure 64 bit system... very bizarre

  • [SOLVED] Intel Fortran Compiler v11.1.072 installation failed

    hi everyone!
    i have some problems with the intel fortran installation. i try to install both ia32 and intel64 version, but without success. i launch from the shell the file "install.sh" and i follow the instructions on the screen, it says that i have missing optional pre-requisites, but also in other linux distribution such as ubuntu or debian, i always skip missing optional pre-requisites and go on. so i do that, but in the step no. 6 when the installation begins, there are a lot of errors:
    Installing Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for applications running on IA-32

    ok, i solved the problem, but with another ifort version. first of all, install these required packages:
    sudo pacman -S glibc libstdc++5
    then download from aur the package "intel-compilers-common 11.0.074-2" and extract it. now:
    cd /PATH/intel-compilers-common
    makepkg
    sudo pacman -U intel-compilers-common-11.0.074-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    always from aur, download "ifort" and extract it. before compiling it, copy the file "l_cprof_p_11.0.074_intel64.tgz" from the "intel-compilers-common" folder into the "ifort" folder. now we must have the license file. we can get it from the official intel site:
    https://registrationcenter.intel.com/Re … NCOM&lang=
    just insert your email, select your country and click "Continue". we'll receive an email with the license key attached. now copy the file into the "ifort" folder. open a shell and do this:
    cd /PATH/ifort
    md5sum LICENSE.lic
    where "LICENSE.lic" is the name of your license key. after that, we have to modify the "PKGBUILD" file, always into the "ifort" folder. in line 19, write the correct license file name. in line 24 write the correct md5sum result. save and exit. now we can compile:
    cd /PATH/ifort
    makepkg
    sudo pacman -U ifort-11.0.074-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    now we have ifort installed! just logout/login to complete the installation! then type:
    ifort -help
    to verify if ifort was correctly installed. if the ifort guide appears, well done!

  • Mistery around Intel Fortran/C compilers and my Macbook

    Hi all,
    First post here. I do not want to write a long post here but I really need some enlightenment about a strange problem.
    My Macbook came with Tiger and Xcode 2.4. Being a Fortran programmer, I installed Intel compilers without much hassle. Then Leopard arrived but I decided to not upgrade until receiving the green light from Intel (for months their compilers were broken for first-time Leopard users). A few months back most of issues seemed to be gone (I successfully installed the new compilers on 3 Mac Pros and 1 Intel iMac) and I was able to upgrade my Macbook to Leopard and the new compilers.
    Here starts the drama : last week I had to upgrade my hard drive so I backup everything and did a clean Leopard install on a new and bigger HD (Hitachi 200Gb 7200rpm). Everything went fine except the fortran/C compilers. The error message I get is unique (try Google) :
    ifort: error fatalerrorterminated: Fatal error in /opt/intel/fc/10.1.014/bin/ifortia32, terminated by segmentation violation
    (I got similar message if I setup 64 bit compiler)
    I can not compile anything. Even a simple hello.f. I even update to 10.5.4 but nothing changed. In fact, it was so frustrating that I decided to do another clean install of Tiger. Yes, I downgraded Mac OSX to 10.4, downloaded the old Fortran compiler (the one I had) and guess what ? I got the SAME message.
    I triple checked my shell environment, looked over all libraries but nothing seems wrong. The ONLY thing that caught my attention was during the installation, when I selected to format the new disk using HFS+ journaled (non case sensitive). I do not believe that my old original drive had a case sensitive system but I did not checked it.
    If you can help, it would be very much appreciated !

    Here is the crash log file I am getting :

  • Can I have both Lion and Snow Leopard on One Hard Drive?

    My problem is I need to run a PowerPC game on Lion which Lion no longer supports. So i thought i could download Snow Leopard back to my Mac and partiition my hard drive in the process as that is the only way i know of to have both Lion and Snow Leopard. I went through the Boot Camp Asistant process and it seems it will only partition Windows 7 to my Mac when i need Snow Leopard. If anyone has any idea how to help me have both Lion and Snow Leopard at the same time on just one hard drive or figure out how to run the PowerPC programs on my Mac (if there is a way around it). The help will be well appreciated!

    How To Run Snow Leopard On A New Mac
    This does not apply to new Mac Minis or MacBook Airs. When newer models are introduced that also require Lion for hardware support, the techniques described below will no longer work with the possible exception of using Parallels 7.
    What has to be done:
    Create a new partition on the hard drive.
    Get a clone of a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard system. Put the cloned Snow Leopard system onto the new partition.
    Step One: Create a new partition on the hard drive
    To resize the drive and create a new partition do the following:
    1.    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
           After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2.   You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3.    In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4.   Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
    Step Two: Obtain a clone of a Snow Leopard system:
    You will need access to a Mac already running Snow Leopard. You will need a 16 GB USB flash drive or an external hard drive to which you can clone the Snow Leopard system from the Mac that has Snow Leopard installed. Alternatives are:
    Option One:
    Install a new Snow Leopard system onto a USB flash drive. Boot the Mac used for installing with the USB flash drive. Update the flash drive system to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard. Verify that you can boot the Mac with the USB flash drive.
    Take the USB flash drive to your new Mac and try booting from it. If it works then clone the system from the flash drive to the newly made partition:
              Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
              Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the USB flash drive.
    Option Two:
    If you have a large enough external drive you can erase and use, then it would be easier to just clone the entire Snow Leopard system from the source Mac computer to the external drive.
              Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
              Destination means the external drive. Source means the Snow Leopard Mac's internal drive.
    After cloning verify that it will boot the source Mac. If so then take the external drive to your new Mac boot with it. If all is well then restore the clone to the new partition on your new Mac:
              Restore the clone using Disk Utility
    Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
              Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the external drive.
    If the above seems too daunting then you might consider running Snow Leopard inside an emulator such as Parallels 7. You are permitted to install a single copy of Snow Leopard inside a virtual machine. You will need to first purchase a copy of Parallels 7 and install it on your new Mac. Create a new virtual machine configured for Mac OS X. You may then install Snow Leopard in the virtual machine then download Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and update to 10.6.8. Be sure to include Rosetta in your initial Snow Leopard installation. Rosetta is not installed by default rather it's an optional install.

    If the MBP came with Lion, it most likely won't boot with SL. Easiest thing to do is create a bootable backup/clone of each to an ext HD, partitioned to hold each on a separate volume, ensure that the original machines can boot with their respective clones, and finally, try booting the other machine with the other clone. Images are useless since you can't boot with them to test them out.

  • Absoft fortran compiling and debugging

    This is a golden opportunity to learn some Unix. The Fink project
    http://fink.sourceforge.net/
    will permit you to quite painlessly install (in addition to what is already available when you install the developer tools that came with OS X) the excellent g77 (GNU Fortran 77) or g95 (GNU-related Fortran 95) compilers and crunch away.
    The learning curve for command line tools is not as steep as you might think!
    Depending on your needs, it could be as simple as
    g77 -o mybin mysource.f
    ./mybin < input.data
    Snoop around the Unix forum Apple discussion group for more info. Good luck!

  • The Browse in Bridge option in PS CC 2014 doesn't launch Bridge, but instead opens the window of the Creative Cloud desktop app instead.  This behaviour is on both Mac and Windows.

    I recently installed all the of CC 2014 applications and noticed that in Photoshop CC 2014, when I choose the "Browse in Bridge" menu option it doesn't launch Bridge at all.  Instead it opens the Creative Cloud desktop application window instead.  I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well.  If I have Bridge running, the menu option also just opens the CC window and doesn't bring Bridge to the front either.  I have PS installed on both a Mac (10.9.3) and Windows (8.1) and the behaviour is the same.

    I only Run windows and my install of CC 2014 works correctly and launches Bridge CC.  Bridge CC was also updated to launch CC 2014 and not CC 14.2.1.

  • Consequences of installing G5 Leopard on  Intel Mac?

    I bought an Intel iMac off of eBay, and it came shipped with OS X 10.4. I had a non-retail replacement DVD of 10.5 from when I had an AppleCare problem with my iMac G5, so I tried to use that disc to upgrade my OS. It never worked correctly, and on the Apple forums I was told that the replacement DVD would be hardware-specific and not function.
    However, a new phenomenon has occurred.. If I completely install Tiger with the hardware-specific discs that came with my intel Mac, and then simply upgrade to Leopard- the install succeeds and the computer is ESSENTIALLY functional.
    It's not perfect though. What I've observed is that (today was the 2nd time this has happened) after a couple days of untinterrupted use (including powering down/up) and having a seemingly functional iMac-- everything goes very wrong. The computer slows down to a crawl, so I leave it alone; then when the beachball goes away, I try to click something. No matter what App I choose, it will freeze up once it begins, and everything I click suddenly stops working.
    So do you think this is a consequence of installing a leopard disc with G5 architecture, or that these symptoms are indicative of something wrong with the iMac itself (possibly bad RAM?). What seems strange is the install does succeed with the upgrade, and the computer works great for a good while- and then suddenly stops. One thing that always confuses/annoys me is when computers aren't consistent... I mean, theyre computers!
    Please share your thoughts, thank you!

    In short: A PPC Mac cannot boot an Intel version of OS X and vice-versa. You will need a full retail version of Leopard that can install either the PPC or the Intel version of OS X. Or as you have discovered your Upgrade disc will install an Intel upgrade to an Intel version of Tiger or a PPC upgrade to a PPC version of Tiger, but it will not performa a full Erase and Install.
    As for migrating from a G5 to an Intel Mac see the following:
    A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
    If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
    Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
    Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
    Screensavers written for the PowerPC
    System Preference add-ons
    All Unsanity Haxies
    Browser and other plug-ins
    Contextual Menu Items
    Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
    Kernel extensions
    Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
    See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
    In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
    If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
    If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
    The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
    Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
    Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

    Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
    Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
    will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
    If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
    1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
    2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
    3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
    4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
    5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
    If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
    1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
    2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:

  • Bug report for SS10U1 fortran compiler

    I am getting an internal error when compiling a larger fortran source file:
    f90: Internal Error, code=fw-assert-einln-835, last src=mbd.f:14
    If I first split the file and then compile the separate routines, the compiler survives:
    fsplit mbd.f
    f95 -c addblk.f fperio.f getblk.f mbbwi.f mgmbwi.f puta2blk.f putblk.f
    I'll be happy to provide a tar-ball to a Sun engineer.

    I have a Mac 10.5.8 op system.  My Contacts do not syn with I cloud.  Trying to get my address book complete on both systems and now I have lots of duplicates on I cloud adress book.  How do I efficiently merge the duplictes that are now on I cloud?

    You cannot use iCloud with Leopard 10.5.8. The minimum requirement is Lion 10.7.2. If you have been syncing your contacts with iCloud you can only have been doing it by some sort of unsupported hack, and if it doesn't work it's unlikely to be possible to find an explanation. If you have been using other (compliant) devices by trying to sync using both iTunes and iCloud you are likely to get duplicates.
    A computer old enough running Leopard may well not be upgradeable to Lion or Mountain Lion, but if you can do so this is the only way you are going to be able to make proper use of iCloud.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Use Firewire Drive with both OSX and XP

    Hi,
    I am in the process of migrating to a Mac from Windows XP. I have an external hard drive (WD MyBook Pro 250gb) which I have been using to backup data to from Windows. The device is currently formatted to 120gb using NTFS so that Windows can backup to it. The remaining space is currently unformatted.
    I need to keep my Windows data for a period while I become comfortable using the Mac before decomissioning the PC. I had assumed that I could maintain the XP NTFS partition, and simply partition the remaining space as an HFS/HFS+ partition using the Disk Tool in the Utilities folder. However, when I attempt this, I don't get any option to format the remaining space - not even as FAT.
    Previous experience with Linux led me to believe that this would be easy to accomplish on Mac OSX, but it appears not to be the case.
    I have searched Google and other Apple Support forums. At this point I am unsure if it simply a lack of knowledge on my part, or if this just flat out cannot be done with OSX.
    Once I am happy that the migration is successful, then I will trash all partitions on the Firewire drive and simply have one HFS/HFS+ partition, but I'd like to have the extra comfort of keeping my data in the interim.
    Many thanks for your effort on providing guidance.
    Mark

    Why not format the remaining space in Windows as FAT32? That way both your XP and your Mac can read and write to the FAT32 space, XP can read and write the NTFS space, and the Mac can read and copy from the NTFS space. The reason I suggest doing the FAT32 format in Windows is because I have had number of cases where Windows (both XP and Vista) simply would not recognize a Mac formatted FAT32 partition, whereas the Mac has never had a problem recognizing and using Windows formatted FAT32 partitions/drives. Once you are quite done with the Windows XP machine and have transferred all the data off the drive, you can then select the whole drive and do a low level reformat. At that time you'll want to change it from the Master Boot Record partitioning scheme it undoubtedly currently has, to the GUID Partition Table that is preferred for Intel machines and Leopard.
