I think you are installing the noncommercial compiler. Check your
email for the license, intel emails the license file (l_for_??.lic)
as an attachment to the mail that specifies the link for the download.
I save the .lic file in the uncompressed archive. The install is quiet
painless.

I have to install the Intel Fortran compiler for Linux to compile MCNPX on my computer running SuSE 9.1
I had already done it about 2 years ago and I can only remember the installation was painful because the installation procedure is sloppily documented. Basically it's not clear where the license file is in teh uncompressed archive and where to copy it to. In the following is the result of my attempted installation ... There is no file with extension ".lic" as described in the installation documantation. Moreover the environment variable INTEL_LICENSE_FILE is empty .. It does not point to anything ... Can anyone who is using this compiler suggest me where to go from here ? Thank you in adavance.
