Hi all, Intel has a powerful f90 compiler, the only one freely available on the market, as far as I know, which runs under Linux. It is an extremely important tool for those who run numerical simulations for scientific purposes. http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/downloads/forlin.htm
Unfortunately for Debian users, Intel distribute the compiler as an rpm archive, and the install script is accordingly written. I have succesfully and easily installed the compiler on my Debian Woody in a kind of a dirty way and I've put a brief HOWTO on my web site: http://www.nordita.dk/~bigazzi/varie/Intel_F90_on_a_Debian_GNU_system.html I'm sure, though, that the install script, wich you find on the same page of mine, can be just adapted to Debian and made available to Intel for them to include Debian as a supported platform for their compiler. Notice that, in the scientific community, the availability of such a compiler for Debian, will greatly benefit our favorite distro. Does anyone want to take the task of rewriting the script for Debian? alberto. http://www.nordita.dk/~bigazzi -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
