I just spent some time today playing with this. I succeeded, but in a less than clean fashion.
In order to properly load IA32 versions of shared-libraries, I used a statically-linked version of ld-linux.so.2. The one in ia32-libs is apparently unhappy with regards to this, so I took the loader from Redhat 7.2's x86-compat RPM. After adding the appropriate paths to /etc/ld.so.conf (intel compiler's ia32/lib + x86-compat's pertinent paths), I wrapped a shell script around 'ias' that would use the IA32 version of ld-linux.so.2 to execute the real ias. Something like: #!/bin/sh /emul/x86-libs/lib/ld-linux.so.2 /opt/intel/compiler50/ia64/bin/ias.exec $* It's kludgy in all respects, but it does work. I hope this helps, Kevin ------- >Has anyone tried to use the Intel Fortran and C++ compilers (freely >available from Intel's web site, though not free software) on an Itanium >machine running sid? > >... > >Unfortunately, a simple compilation test fails : > >[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/test$ efc a.f > program TI > >7 Lines Compiled >ias: No such file or directory
