hi every body
I have problem in installing the intel MPI.
I had installed ifort & icc (version 12.1.1) successfully. then Iv tried to install the MPI library as well. I had tried to run ./install 2 or 3 times but Each time when it wants to get serial number, I'd gone to wrong route so running was ceased. after that when I try to run ./install in the l_mpi-rt_p_4.0.3.008 directory , it say "Another instance of the installer has been detected. Please complete the other install and try again" so I erase intel directory , l_fcompxe_intel64_2011.8.273 directory and path of the ifort&icc from .bashrc and eventualy logout. now I cant install even ifort & icc again becase it give the same error. what can I do to repair my Linux? my linux is centOS.

Another instance of the installer has been detected. Please complete the other
install and try again.
[user41@ce l_ccompxe_intel64_2011.8.273]$

also I did this command

[user41@ce l_fcompxe_intel64_2011.8.273]$ uninstall_idb.sh

The uninstallation program did not find any instance of
Intel(R) Compiler Professional 11.0 products or components
for this package installed by this non-root user.

If you performed any installation using root, you must become root
to do the uninstallation.

It looks like "point of no return" ( or no uninstall )
when you delete the ~/intel/ folder :
The real 'uninstall.sh' scripts are located in "~/intel/".

And I don't know, where the installer hides the install information.
1) Known files for a local install in /home/<name>/,
e.g. : ._icc_install-result_ ( Hidden file ).
2)
Files ..... when the applications are installed to /opt/,
as root, examples :
/var/log/vtune_amplifier_xe_2011_install.log
/var/log/inspector_xe_2011_install.log
/tmp/intel.*


Possible workarounds : a) Install MPI as root (su) : default = /opt/,
and add the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in e.g. ld.so.conf

b) Create a new user, install l_fcompxe, l_ccompxe in /home/<new-name>
and simply make some symlinks : /usr/bin/icc , /usr/bin/ifort

hi
thank you knudfl
your comment works.
I erased /tmp/intel.* and all problems was solved
my hostname is user41
those erased was :

intel.issa.user41.ce.math_01.14.22.04.00.2012.log
intel.issa.user41.ce.math_01.14.23.27.28.2012.log
intel.pset.user41.ce.math_01.14.22.04.00.2012.log
intel.pset.user41.ce.math_01.14.23.27.28.2012.log

hi
I installed runtime PMI, l_mpi-rt_p_4.0.3.008.tgz in my account.
how can I give the path to it?
(I have ifort and icc (version 12.1.2) in my account)
view oh my bashrc:
# .bashrc

# User specific aliases and functions

# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi

source $HOME/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.8.273/bin/compilervars.sh intel64

thanks in advance

Example a) composerxe-2011.2.137

"source the bashrc" goes like this ...
1) source $HOME/intel/composerxe-2011.2.137/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
2) source .bashrc
...........

3) which icc
The reply is : ~/intel/composerxe-2011.2.137/bin/intel64/icc
4) env | grep PATH
..... And you will see all the new *PATH´s, like ...
PATH=/home/knudfl/intel/composerxe-2011.2.137/bin/intel64:, etc.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/knudfl/intel/composerxe-2011.2.137/compiler/lib/intel64
etc. etc.

There is also a "/home/knudfl/intel/bin"
1a) source /home/knudfl/intel/bin/compilervars.sh intel64
2a) source .bashrc
4a) env | grep PATH


Example b) l_mpi_p_4.0.3.008
1. export PATH=$PATH:/home/knudfl/intel/impi/4.0.3.008/bin64
2. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/home/knudfl/intel/impi/4.0.3.008/lib64
3. source .bashrc


Permanent settings of *PATH :
A) The executables : symlink icc, ifort to /usr/bin/
B) Libraries : Make entries in /etc/ld.so.conf

..

Thanks knudfl
its works
