Any Intel on Linux Gurus (help wanted with toolset for 8.1)?
Apparently from Intel 8.1 onwards, we can no longer link C++ programs with icc as the current intel-linux toolset does: icc is now Intel's equivalent to gcc and performs a C only link, we need to use icpc to link C++ programs (and ideally to compile them as well, although icc currently still recognises C++ source and internally calls icpc). So here's the big question - does anyone have access to Intel 6 and/or 7 on Linux and do these also have icpc? If they do, then this is a no-brainer change to the toolset, but if not then we're going to have to get creative :-| Thanks, John.

I don't know about 6, but in all the versions I have seen (from 7.something on) icpc was the C++ compiler's "real" name. I would think it is fine to use icpc in general for C++. -- Dick Hadsell 914-259-6320 Fax: 914-259-6499 Reply-to: hadsell@blueskystudios.com Blue Sky Studios http://www.blueskystudios.com 44 South Broadway, White Plains, NY 10601

OK thanks, that's good to know, John.
