Problem of fedora 17 and intel compiler, help?

[thanhwru]

dear all,

i have just installed fedora 17, but now when i install intell compiler, has an error:

Missing optional pre-requisites
-- unsupported OS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Skip missing optional pre-requisites [default]
2. Show the detailed info about issue(s)
3. Re-check the pre-requisites

h. Help
b. Back to the previous menu
q. Quit

and when i access into intel forum, a member say that

"if you merely run the scripts as you did, the variables are set for the duration of the running of the script and then discarded.

You have to use the "source" verb as a prefix (or, equivalently, type a dot and space before "./ifortvars.sh ia32"). The compiler documentation describes this in detail""


but i don't understand

can you help me to solve this issue?

thanks so much

sorry i posted incorrect the words of member from intel forum:

new sentence is as follow: Fedora 17 was released after the latest update of Intel C. Install after accepting "Unsupported OS" and see if it works. If it does not work, wait for the next update of Intel C.

That's the key thing. Fedora 17 was released after the version of ICC that you're trying to install was, so it doesn't know about Fedora 17. It might just work (F17 isn't that different from F16), the only way to know is to try it. If it doesn't, then Intel will need to update ICC and release a new version.

Where exactly is the problem?

Press 1 to continue ;-)

You know the meaning of "optional", don't you?

thanks, oke, i do it but i think maybe that is optimize to option and i want to solve all everything.
