Has anyone tried the evaluation version of the Intel C/C++ compiler for Linux 32-bit platforms? They distributed a CD in the most recent version of Linux Magazine, and it appears to be available for download as well.
I had trouble getting it going; the evaluation license file they sent me didn't work out of the box with the license manager that got installed. If anyone has gotten it to work, please send instructions around!
We had no problems installing it. The compiler goes into /opt/intel/compiler50/ia32/*, the license into /opt/intel/license/l_cpp.lic. On the Debian system with a alien RPM installation, the RPM postinstall scripts did not execute properly, so we adjusted the configuration files ourselves (in particular, the postinstall script would have created a broken .csh file, anyway). Looking at the iccvars.csh script, make sure the following settings are correct: setenv IA32ROOT /opt/intel/compiler50/ia32 setenv INTEL_FLEXLM_LICENSE /opt/intel/licenses (iccvars.sh accordingly). I don't think we run flexlm; sourcing the appropriate settings is enough. HTH, Martin
