Did you install g++ ? ?

Must be present, before you can install Intel compilers.

# apt-get install g++

it works by g++;
but in the process of installing the Math Kernel Library, the installation cease as below:

Step no: 5 of 6 | Installation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each component will be installed individually. If you cancel the installation,
components that have been completely installed will remain on your system. This
installation may take several minutes, depending on your system and the options
you selected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Intel Fortran Compiler XE 12.1 Update 4 on Intel(R) 64 component... done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Intel Debugger 12.1 Update 4 on Intel(R) 64 component... done
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing Intel Math Kernel Library 10.3 Update 10 on Intel(R) 64 component...

now ifort works well but how can I repair the Math Kernel Library?

Start the installation again and select individual components. Be sure you have enough disk space on the partition you're trying to install onto.

my friend said that Debian cant open rpm and MKL have rpm pakage, what is your idea?
tanx

The Intel compilers ( and MKL ) are all rpm packages.
Just have a look into the installation folders. Or run 'ls -R'.

The rpm command is installed by default on a Debian OS.
Unless you have a stripped down OS. ( # apt-get install rpm ).

The only unknown thing is, if Intel now uses lzma compression.
But I don't think so.
I had no issues with XE2011 packages on Debian Squeeze 64, Wheezy 64.

.

Debian can install RPMs if you have the rpm software manager installed. The Intel knowledge base explains it all:
http://software.intel.com/en-us/arti...x-with-ubuntu/
http://software.intel.com/en-us/arti...x-with-debian/
The first link is related to Ubuntu but it is the most up-to-date and can be applied to Debian as well.

Edit: Beaten by knudfl! ;)

Hi,

it is generally not recommended to directly install rpms. A better approach may be to use alien to convert them to debs or just extract the binaries and install them manually.
