install intel fortran compiler on ubuntu

[byulent]

First go to the intel web site "http://software.intel.com", click on 'Downloads',
click on 'Free Non-commercial Downloads',
click on 'accept',
click on 'intel fortran compiler professional edition for linux',
provide an email address where you will receive the serial number,
download the suitable file, for instance 'l_cprof_p_11.0.081.tgz'.

On terminal write the following commands and follow the instructions:

1- sudo apt-get install rpm build-essential
2- sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
3- sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
go to the folder which contains the downloaded file and then
4- tar xvzf l_cprof_p_11.0.081.tgz
5- cd l_cprof_p_11.0.081
6- sudo ./install.sh

Follow the installation instructions:

7. choose Option 1 to install Intel Fortran,
8. choose Option 1 to proceed with a serial number.
9. type in the serial number (case-sensitive) given in the email. (XXXX-XXXXXXXX). Choose 1 for a default install.
10. Press Enter to read the license agreement. The spacebar speeds through this quickly. Type 'accept' to accept the license agreement.
11. At some point the installation may stop to ask for some 'optional' packages to be installed. Skip this warning.

After the installation is finished go to the terminal and:

12- cd
13- nano .bashrc
the nano editor will open ".bashrc" file,
go to the end of this file and add the following lines:

PATH="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/081/bin/intel64:$PATH"
export PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/081/lib/intel64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Note: The lines above are for 64 if you use 32 replace 'intel64' by 'intel32'. As the versions of the compiler change the installation path will change so make sure that you enter the right path in the lines above.

Exit the file by saving the changes.

let the system read the updated paths by the command:
14- source .bashrc

The installation is finished.

Now you can compile (on terminal) your code by the command:

ifort yourcode.f

and run the created executable ('a.out' in this case) by

./a.out

You should also know that this edition is not for use in academia either.

The free version is only for personal use while sitting at home. It is a very limited usage requirement. I think you might want to add something about this into your post.

Is Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex 64-bit supported? I get an error about missing optional pre-requisite

-- operating system type is not supported
-- sytem glibc or kernel version not supported or not detectable
-- binutils version not supported or not detectable

Is Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex 64-bit supported? I get an error about missing optional pre-requisite

-- operating system type is not supported
-- sytem glibc or kernel version not supported or not detectable
-- binutils version not supported or not detectable

you can safely ignore these errors, and just proceed with the installation. see, e.g. http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intel-compilers-for-linux-with-ubuntu/

The instructions were very useful to me. However for the 32 bit installation there are some small corrections.1) For the 32 bit system, one needs libstdc++5 and this can be gotten from synaptic. A gcc version gets installed with it, but that's ok. 2)No need to install ia32-libs. 3)When editing the .bashrc file, one wants to put in

PATH="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/083/bin/ia32:$PATH"; export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/intel/Compile/11.0/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Sorry, i have the same problem whit intel fortran 11.1 ia32 running Ubuntu 9.04; and i did everything byulent said, but when i run a my program i dont really know if the compiler is runnig. Also when i try to read the manual "~$:man ifort" it doesn't exist, but "~$:ifot -hepl" it shows what i think it's the manual. Before i tried in many ways to run ifort, and the next lines where usefull for one sesion:
:~$ source /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/046/bin/ifortvars.sh ia32
i really don't know what did i do but it works :)
I have another question, when i saw my program were compiled in my school, some line said: vectorized *.f
but now when i compile in my laptop it doesn't say anything, what does this mean? it's ifort working?
Thank you

[ecrisfield]

Great instructions. As noted, paths change over time. I installed today and the following paths were appropriate:

PATH="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/056/bin/ia32:$PATH";export PATH

LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/056/lib/ia32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH";export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

After you edit the .bashrc type at the command line:

source .bashrc

(I think this just prompts the machine to actually read the edits you just made.)

Thanks for the thread...

Even if you're installing the 64 bit version, you still need these libraries, which come with libstdc++5.

libstdc++
libstdc++5
glibc
libgcc

[nis17sep]

hey i have installed intel fortran compiler and also added the path in .bashrc file.

on giving a command to compile like ifort new.for it gives an error -

/Desktop$ ifort new.for
/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/064/bin/ia32/fortcom: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ifort: error #10273: Fatal error in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/064/bin/ia32/fortcom, terminated by 0x7f


well m not able to understand that... new to linux plz help :(

Hi There!


Firstly,
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package ia32-libs

Secondly,
I try "sudo apt-get install ibstdc++ (or libstdc++5 or or or glibc or libgcc)"
in terminal I see
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package libgcc

And in the setup I see

Step no: 4 of 7 | Installation configuration - Missing Critical Pre-requisite
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is one or more critical unresolved issue which prevents installation to
continue. You can fix it without exiting from the installation and re-check. Or
you can quit from the installation, fix it and run the installation again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Missing critical pre-requisite
-- missing system commands
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Show the detailed info about issue(s) [default]
2. Re-check the pre-requisites

h. Help
b. Back to the previous menu
q. Quit

And Re-check the pre-requisites give me the same result.

I`m sure there is a problem))

I'm trying to install the most recent Intel fortran compiler on my Ubuntu 10.10. However, I don't seem to be able to install ia32-libs:

$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package ia32-libs

I still have some ambiguities whether I'm having a 32 or 64 bit system, but it seems to me that I must have ia32-libs in both cases.

I have tried out all the tips from this forum already...

Could someone please give me a hint on how to install ia32-libs on Ubuntu 10.10?

Thank you in advance.

[Mrunalinee]

I have used these instructions and installed the compiler. But I am getting the syntax "command not found" when I tried using ifort.

Please help me to fix the problem..

[rapuy]

This is exactly what I am trying to do right now, but I have a newer version of Unbuntu 11.04 and Interl Fortran Compiler (l_fcompxe_2011.4.191.tgz). I have just installed unbuntu on my computer and I am new to Linux.

I would like to follow the instructions on the first post. But I am not sure if Im doing it right. Is there any pre-requisits before doing the commands in post #1?

Here are some massages in my terminal window.

Ubuntu 11.04 25 May 2011:
These notes are still applicable to Ubuntu 11.04. Composer XE 2011 (aka version 12.0) prerequisites for Ubuntu Desktop, assuming that gcc and g++ are installed already:

during the install, you can ignore any warnings about the missing Java prerequisite - it may not recognize openjdk-6-jre-headless.

Hi..

I am using 64bit destop. I have just recently installed ifort, Intel composerXE12 on ubuntu 11.04. just after installing, in the next step i have given the following command...
now i am facing the following problem during the environment setup...

Please suggest me what to do.....!!!

I am not an expert, but I think you miss the "source" command

good luck

hello all!i have succesfully installed intel fortran composer xe 2011 in my Ubuntu 10.04 but when i try to compile a program i have all i get is:
/opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.7.256/compiler/lib/ia32/for_main.o: In function `main':
/export/users/nbtester/x86linux_nightly/branch-12_1/20111012_000000/libdev/frtl/src/libfor/for_main.c:(.text+0x50): undefined reference to `MAIN__
apparently i am missing ipp,arbb and tbb libraries.any ideas how to fix this???thanks in advance

[Eleftheria]

Thanks for the detailed instructions.However,

If I type
eleftheria@ubuntu:~$ sudo ifort
I get
sudo: ifort: command not found

BUT If I type
eleftheria@ubuntu:~$ source /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1/bin/compilervars.sh ia32
eleftheria@ubuntu:~$ ifort
I get
ifort: command line error: no files specified; for help type "ifort -help"

Do I always have to first run the source command before I run ifort?
Is there a step I have omitted?

[KauP]

Thanks for your valuable words ecrisfield a.k.a elizabeth, without your updating technique of the .bashrc file my ifort was not compiling.

[Olihargon]

Hallo!
I'm new here, in ubuntu and in fortran too!

I would like to start working with fortran,
reading this topic you said that there's the non-commercial version
I gone on that website, but I admit that the words:

"You may be contacted by Intel or an authorized reseller"

are scaring me a little,
anyone has been contacted for something?

no money to pay for this version, right?

thanks for the answers!
