[SOLVED] Intel Fortran Compiler v11.1.072 installation failed

Question

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
component...
Intel(R) Fortran Compiler for applications running on IA-32 component
installation failed.
Installing Intel(R) Math Kernel Library for applications running on IA-32
component...
Intel(R) Math Kernel Library for applications running on IA-32 component
installation failed.
what happens?
thanks all for your replies, i'm here for other infos if you want.

Answer 1

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!
