How to Install Intel C++ Compiler 11.0 on Ubuntu Linux 8.10

I’m writing this documentation because I believe that there will be someone out there who are having difficulties or doubt to install the Intel C++ Compiler 11.0

Good thing that Intel provides the FREE for Non-Commercial Software Development of the Intel C++ Compiler Professional 11.0 only for Linux users.

  1. download the package (it’s a tar.gz-file)
  2. unpack it (tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz)
  3. sudo ./install.sh

Add these to the .bashrc and .profile

# Intel Compiler
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/069/lib/ia32
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/Compiler/11.0/069/bin/ia32

For the Linux newbie, note that both of .bashrc and .profile are hidden files, so you have to use View –> Show Hidden Files (CTRL + H) or ls -a to see them. They’re located in the /home/<username>/

  1. Restart
  2. Have fun! :)

Free and Open

Had the technology been proprietary, and in my total control, it would probably not have taken off. The decision to make the Web an open system was necessary for it to be universal. You can’t propose that something be a universal space and at the same time keep control of it.

Open Source: Save the World!

Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me. It is an uncomfortable doctrine which the true ethics whisper into my ear. You are happy, they say; therefore you are called upon to give much.
