Re: Installing Intel compiler RPMs on Debian
Hi,
Wow. The help people are sending is incredible! This is the first
message I've posted to Debian User since I switched to Debian
a few weeks ago. I havn't needed to post anything else because it
just works, but these Intel compilers are a real challenge.
1. I tried "alien"'ing the RPMS and then manually changing INSTALL_DIR
in the scripts. This did not work for me. YMMV.
2. Creating a new partition with RedHat just for this is the software
equivalent of building a second Taj Mahal because your wife does not
like the color of the first one.
3. I asked Intel if they would supply Debian-compatible compilers
to their customers. FYI, their rather helpful reply is below. Basically
they seem to be saying that I can do a manual install along the lines
of what I tried but using rpm2cpio instead of alien. Maybe this will
work better, I have not tried it yet.
4. If anyone has a working solution, please let me know how you did it.
5. I am using debian unstable, so it does not have to run on woody.
Thanks,,
Charlie
