pgf90 on Fedora Core 6

Accelerated Computing HPC Compilers Legacy PGI Compilers
1

Hello,

I tried to install pgi6.25,
and I’ve got this error
++++ Unknown glibc version (2.5) ++++
during the installation.
If I compile a test file this is what I obtain

[stortignauz@localhost ~]$ pgf90 test.f90 -o test
pgf90-Error-file with unknown suffix ignored: test.f90
pgf90-Warning-Unknown switch: -o
pgf90-Error-file with unknown suffix ignored: test

Note that I’ve just installed Fedora Core 6,
and searching in this forum I found a similar
problem for Fedora 5 that afterwards have been fixed,

Regards,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

While we will be adding support for Fedora Core 6 in the near future, it usually takes until the next major or minor release of the PGI to validate the compilers on a new OS. For a complete list of currently supported OS, please refer to http://www.pgroup.com/support/install.htm#release_info.

Thanks,
Mat

any idea when the next release will come so that FC6 can be used?

thanks…

7.0 won’t be out until early Q1 2007. However, you should be able to work around the installation issue by untaring the installation package, updating the linux86/6.2/bin/makelocalrc and linux86-64/6.2/bin/makelocalrc files (see below), then run “install”. If you’d rather, you can also write to trs@pgroup.com and they’ll send you the updated makelocalrc.

The caveat is that 6.2 does not officially support FC6.

hmmm!

how do i know that i’m running version 2.5 of glibc? i assume if i’m running something even newer i should change the 2.5*) to 2.[whatever]*) ?

Thanks!

To find out what version of glibc your running, use the following command:

This will fix the installer but it’s no guarantee that the compilers will work correctly. However, GNU is usually good about backward compatiabilty on minor releases.

well, i edited the makelocalrc files you referenced, adding a case for GLIBC_VERSION 2.5*.

however, after install, the same problem comes up…

$ cat test.f
program test
print *, ‘hello’
end
$ echo $LM_LICENSE_FILE
/opt/pgi/license.dat
$ echo $PGI
/opt/pgi
$ which pgf90
/opt/pgi/linux86/6.2/bin/pgf90
$ pgf90 test.f
pgf90-Error-file with unknown suffix ignored: test.f

is there an issue with my temp license file? or isit simply that the compilers aren’t compatible?

THANKS!

$ cat $LM_LICENSE_FILE

Please do not change this file until you receive your permanent

license. Modifying this file may cause your temporary license to

fail.

Hi Matt,

Try rerunning the modified makelocalrc by hand: /opt/pgi/linux86/6.2/bin/makelocalrc -x /opt/pgi/linux86/6.2/
