As I wanted to try ifx 2024.0.1, the Intel website said to download l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh but not what to do next. My guess seemed to be wrong. Evidence from my Ubuntu system:
john@johns-laptop:~$ ls -l l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1*
-rw-rw-r-- 1 john john 19788147 Dec 16 19:48 l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh
john@johns-laptop:~$ source l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh
bash: source: l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh: cannot execute binary file
john@johns-laptop:~$
Same bad result if I tried again after source /opt/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
What should I have done?
try running the following command: bash l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh, and if necessary, use sudo. I have successfully installed it on my Ubuntu system.
Thank you @Ali but I still can’t compile a program with the latest ifx. Evidence:
john@johns-laptop:~$ cat bin/ifx.1
#!/bin/bash
# compile and run a Fortran program with ifx 2024.0.1
source ~/intel/oneapi/setvars.sh
compilers="~/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest" # for ifx, ifort

set -x

What should I do now? I note that installing ifx 2024.0 automatically put the Intel stuff into /opt/intel on Nov 22 but using bash l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh
put it into ~/intel , and the ~/intel/oneapi/compiler/latest/bin/ifx file was still the Nov 22 one.
During the installation via the GUI, ensure you modify the installation location. The default location is your home directory (~/intel/oneapi), but you have to change it to match the latest installation path. If you previously installed version 2024.0 in the /opt/intel/oneapi directory, make sure to select the same directory (/opt/intel/oneapi) as the installation path for the new update (2024.0.1). you may need to execute the installation using sudo bash l_fortran-compiler_p_2024.0.1.31.sh.
If you want to modify the installation directory, you can adjust it at this stage. In my case, I changed the installation location to match the previous version:
I’m not sure why it shows 2024.0 for you. Maybe this version is an update from the earlier one, 2024.0. The new version 2024.0.1 might need the 2024.0 version to work properly. But I’m just guessing!
Once the installation is complete, go to this directory to check for the new compiler: your_installation_location/intel/oneapi/compiler/2024.0/bin
Then, execute: ./ifx --version
This should output:
ifx (IFX) 2024.0.1 20231122
