1. Dowload non commerical F/C compilers from:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/non-commercial-software-development/

An email will be sent to you with the licenses.

suppose all *.tgz files are downloaded in a directory named "intel_src"

2.make a directory "intel" in /opt/ as a root user, and copy all licenses to a sub-directory "/opt/intel/licenses":

$su      ! passwd

$mkdir /opt/intel

$mkdir /opt/intel/licenses

$cp  *.lic  /opt/intel/licenses

3. unzip all *.tgz files:

for i in *.tgz;do tar xvfz $i;done

4. Installation:  (install as a root user)

(1) Fortran:

$cd l_fcompxe_ia32_2011.1.107

$./install.sh

"Enter" to accept default choice, and "Skip missing optional pre-requisites", accept license agreement.

Use existing license; And "Enter" to start installation now; Wait several minutes and press "Enter" twice to finish installation.

(2) C:

$ cd ../l_ccompxe_ia32_2011.1.107

$./install.sh

accept all default choices, and exit from root.

5. Setting:

open ~/.bashrc

$vi ~/.bashrc

and add following line into it:

source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh ia32            #(if u r using 32-bit platform, otherwise replace "ia32" with "intel64" for 64-bit)

write and quit.

(OR just $echo source /opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh ia32 >> ~/.bashrc)

then run:

$source ~/.bashrc

OK, congratulations, all installation finished!

Note:

         (1) make sure what's your platform 32-bit or 64-bit.

        (2) If  forbiddened by selinux when running "install.sh", please set seLinux to "disabled"  by 

              $vi /etc/sysconfig/selinux 

              and replace "SELINUX=enforcing" with "SELINUX=disabled" then reboot.

          (3) MKL is installed at the same time!

          (4) My systerm is Fedora 14, and compiler is intel-2011 updated 1.
