install intel fortran compiler on ubuntu

**someone101** · April 28th, 2011

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.

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..

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.

ok guys, this is very easy
not gonna write everything as it is
took pics!

I am running Ubuntu Natty today is 12 -08 -2011
step 0>>
following code in terminal, how I know? ->

HTML Code:

>>>>>>>>>>
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:

Code:

apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install gcc-multilib
apt-get install rpm
apt-get install ia32-libs
apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless

during the install, you can ignore any warnings about the missing Java prerequisite - it may not recognize openjdk-6-jre-headless.
<<<<<<<<<<<
*must say that line 4 is useless

step 1>>
download (http fast internet )Intel® Fortran Composer XE for Linux* (formerly Intel® Fortran Compiler Professional Edition for Linux*)
* 32 bit (my case)
** code gets sent to your mail account which you must provide

step 2>>
mv package from ~/Downloads to ~

step 3>>
uncompress the thing
cd into new dir
run ./install.sh with superpowers

step 4>>
follow instructions

step 5>>
finally write something like
source /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.5.220/bin/compilervars.sh ia32
in .bashrc

good day!

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

/opt/intel/composerxe-2011.5.220/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
source /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.5.220/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

Code:

murpholinox@eva01:~$ source /opt/intel/composerxe-2011.5.220/bin/compilervars.sh ia32
murpholinox@eva01:~$ echo $?
0

*0 means exit that the exit status of the last command used was successful
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** · December 21st, 2011

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?

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

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!
