Re: Unsupported Intel Fortran compiler for Linux


Maybe I was not clear about the point of my question.
I do not care about support; just want the ability to run the
free linux intel compiler for unlimited time.


In that case, can I suggest gfortran or g95? Both of them are very good Fortran 90/95 compilers and are free. They might not be supporting all the features yet, but they are evolving very fast. Besides, gfortran is already included in GCC 4.0 onwards. gfortran is GPLed software and can always use some testers (the more the merrier).

If you were to choose between gfortran and g95, I would suggest to use gfortran (but that is completely a personal preference).

Which linux distribution are you using? If you are using Debian (either testing or unstable), installing gfortran & its corresponding documentation is just one command.

apt-get install gfortran gfortran-doc

That's it. It cant get simpler than that. More information about Fortran 90 compilers on Debian can be found at
