Using Intel Compilers for Linux with Ubuntu

In order to use Intel(R) Compilers ( Fortran or C++ ) under Ubuntu 9.04, 8.04 or 8.10 you will need the latest 11.0 or 10.1 version of the Intel compiler(s). Older 10.0 and 9.1 versions of the compilers may not work properly under Ubuntu 9.04, 8.04 or 8.10. Keep in mind that new versions of Ubuntu/Debian may not be OFFICIALLY supported by the Intel Compilers. Please see your ReleaseNotes document with your compiler version for a list of officially supported distributions and versions.

If you have active support for your compiler, you can download the latest Intel compiler version from

BEFORE YOU INSTALL Intel(R) Fortran for Linux or Intel(R) C++ for Linux on your fresh Ubuntu Desktop installation, you will first need to install several packages to prepare the system to serve as a development platform:

Check that gcc is installed. By default. Check this with:

gcc --version

By default, Ubuntu 8.04 Desktop installs gcc 4.2.3-2ubuntu7. 8.10 should have gcc 4.3.2, 9.04 gcc 4.3.3

If, for some reason, you do not have gcc installed, use Synaptic Package Manager (under 'System' -> 'Administration' menus) OR use apt-get to install gcc:


apt-get install gcc


Next, install g++. This is not installed by default. Again, use Synaptic Package Manager or apt-get to install package "g++"

apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install g++


Next, you need to install the 32bit compatibility library libstdc++.so.5. To do this, use apt-get or Synaptic Package Manager to retrieve and install package "libstdc++5"

apt-get install libstdc++5

This package may require installing another package as a prerequisite,
"gcc-3.3-base"

If so, go ahead and install this older gcc package.

For x86-64 architecture, you will also need a number of other packages, including package 'ia32-libs' to install the 32bit versions of libstdc++.so.5 in /usr/lib32 as well as 32bit header files in libc6-dev-i386. These notes apply to Ubuntu 9.04 but should also apply to 8.10 and 8.04

apt-get install ia32-libs
apt-get install lib32stdc++6
apt-get install libc6-dev-i386
apt-get install gcc-multilib
apt-get install g++-multilib

Finally, there is an optional package to consider: The 11.0 version of the Intel Compiler for Linux has a graphical
debugger, a new graphical interface for the IDB debugger. If you want to use this debugger, please make sure to install the Java JRE version 1.5 or greater. This can be done at anytime after the installation of the compiler. However, you will get a warning message about 'missing prerequisite' for the JRE - simply ignore that message and proceed with the installation. OR to avoid that message and enable the graphical IDE, get the latest JRE from:

http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Once installation of prerequisites is complete, you are ready to start the Intel compiler(s) installation. During the installation, you may get a message "Detected operating system Debian* (generic) is not supported", followed by

"Would you like to perform an unsupported install of this product [yes/no] (no)?"

enter "yes"

This will complete the installation.
