Hello all, Just thought that I would let you know that I got the Intel compiler to install, run, and compile code. Basically, I went into the install script and changed the 'i386' reference to 'i586' (thanks to Tom Browne). (Just to remind you, I am running Mandrake which compiled to 586 machines, and RedHat compiled to 386). I also tried to compile some 'sfront'-generated c-code with 'icc' and everything (with the exception of the shorter examples) ran quite a bit faster with the Intel compiler. As one example, the piece 'elpelele' has a runtime of about 9' 53" on my machine when compiled with 'gcc', using 'icc' the runtime is about 6' 20". Sorry, if this is getting even more off-topic... Mike
