Hi I'm trying to install Intel C++ 7.0 compiler on a Debian machine. It comes as a bunch of RPMs and installation scripts, as well as the FLEX license manager. I tried doing rpm --force --nodeps -i *.i386.rpm but rpm complains about failed dependencies. For some reason, it ignores my instructions to ignore the dependencies! Why?
Thanks Oleg P.S. I had previously successfully installed an earlier, 6.0, version of the compiler on a different Debian machine using "rpm --force --nodeps -i". Alien-generated DEBs install only with "--force-overwrite" and then essential files, such as the compiler itself, are missing. Besides, Intel uses its own /opt/intel directory, so using RPMs should be OK. P.P.S To preemptively answer the inevitable question why I want Intel compilers in addition to GCC: I'm interested in high-performance numeric computing, looking at the code Intel compilers generate, and comparing different compilers' performance. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
