Dear board users,
I am trying to install Parallel Studio XE 2016 on a Linux Mint 17.3 machine.
I have seen that the installation process does not support LinuxMint, not even Ubuntu if I remember well. My first question is: Why? Linux Mint certainly is not a fringe system and may inherit the user base of Ubuntu as Ubuntu is getting more commercial and disrespects privacy at some points.
When will Linux Mint be supported? Even Ubuntu is based upon Debian, and Debian seems to be supported.
Second question:
I somehow moved through the installation process (we only need intel64 architecture) but compilervers.sh did not work. As I've used icpc 2013 on an older system before, I have copied and adapted older module files we had to mirror those settings with the new folders. I've put everything in ~/.bashrc. No, I can get icpc to respond:
icpc version 16.0.0 (gcc version 3.2.0 compatibility)
and I am able to compile a "helloworld" in C.
Why the "compatibility mode" with a gcc that I don't have (I do have g++ 4.8)? What does "compatibility mode" mean in this scenario?
I would not bother too much but it seems that I can't compile boost because of that.
Could you please point me to a precise list of all the dependencies and how to configure them myself if I can't use neither the installer nor compilervars.sh?
Thank you -
Andreas
