[SOLVED] Has anyone successfully installed Intel Parallel Studio on Slackware?

I need their Fortran compiler and debugger, for compatibility checking, but the installation package seems an overwhelming pile of RPMs.

Has anyone seen a taming manual?
I suspect that this may be because some of the components are heavily 32-bit, but I am not very sure.

The error message is:

Code:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Missing critical prerequisite
-- GTK3 library is not found. 'Graphical user interface' component of VTune 
Profiler cannot be installed.
-- Xorg X11 libXss runtime library is not found. 'Graphical user interface' 
component of VTune Profiler cannot be installed.
-- Network Security Services library is not found. 'Graphical user
interface' component of VTune Profiler cannot be installed.
-- Pango library is not found. 'Graphical user interface' component(s)
cannot be installed.
-- Xorg X11 server is not found. 'Graphical user interface' component(s)
cannot be installed.

I've the Intel compiler running on my computer. The errors you see are only for the Vtune Profiler, if you are not going to use it you won't have problems, the compiler doesn't need these libraries.
The intel debugger idb doesn't have a GUI (it was removed since 2015), so you can debug with it without problems.

Thank you, it did the job!

I had to disable not just Vtune, but also the Adviser and something else, but meh, I really needed the compilers, the rest would be nice but optional.

Still, I kind of disapprove this development culture of Intel.
