please help me
thanks

What are you literally typing? not the <install-dir> & <arg> - they're meant to be replaced with your values. My guess is the code is:

Quote:

source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh

followed by any arguments that the compilervars.sh script expects - no doubt they are described in the docs.
I hope this isn't too obvious & I haven't totally misunderstood your question

Good shot, Andy! In addition, the name of the script is not actually compilervars.sh but the word compiler must be changed into the actual compiler used, ifort or icc. Regarding the argument, it specifies the processor architecture and the related instruction set. It can be any of ia32, intel64 or ia64. Indeed, the official documentation should reveal it all.

It means that you've not correctly sourced the aforementioned ifortvars.sh file. In order to do it at each login, you can either put the source command line in your $HOME/.bashrc (user based) or in a script with extension .sh in /etc/profile.d (system based). Example:

Code:

$ su -
Password:
# cd /etc/profile.d
# cat > ifort.sh
source /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/074/bin/ifortvars.sh ia32
<Ctrl-D>
#

Ctrl-D here is used to terminate the standard input. The parts in grey must be customized according to the real installation path and the CPU architecture. If in doubt, please post the output of the following commands so we can check and tell it for sure:

Code:

find /opt -name ifortvars.sh
uname -a
grep -E "model name|flags" /proc/cpuinfo

Hope this helps.
