Description Feike Boomstra 2007-04-27 08:50:53 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.0.10) Gecko/20070313 Fedora/1.5.0.10-5.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.10

Description of problem:
I have installed intel's icpc compiler in FC6.
When I try to compile a simple program I get the following output:

[feike@feike ~]$ icpc -fast HelloWorld.c++
IPO: performing single-file optimizations
IPO: generating object file /tmp/ipo_icpcLfw3xp.o
ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32/../libstdc++.a when searching for -lstdc++
ld: cannot find -lstdc++
[feike@feike ~]$ 

I did some more investigations:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32/libstdc++.a

is a symbolic link to:
 -> ../../../i386-redhat-linux/4.1.1/libstdc++.a

but this file does not exist. Even the directory doesn't exist.

I have installed:

compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61
but that doesn't help.






Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-4.1.1-51.fc6

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1.icpc -fast HelloWorld.c++
2.
3.

Actual Results:
Doesn't compile.
ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.1.1/32/../libstdc++.a when searching for -lstdc++
ld: cannot find -lstdc++

Expected Results:
correct compilation and linking.

Additional info:

Comment 1 Jakub Jelinek 2007-04-27 09:03:37 UTC
If you want to link 32-bit C++ programs on x86_64, you need to make sure
libstdc++-4.1.*.i386.rpm is installed.

Comment 2 Feike Boomstra 2007-04-27 11:08:47 UTC
The i386 as well as the x86_64 is installed, but it doesn't provide the file
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.1.1/libstdc++.a


[feike@feike ~]$ rpm -q libstdc++
libstdc++-4.1.1-51.fc6
libstdc++-4.1.1-51.fc6
[feike@feike ~]$ rpm -ql libstdc++
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.8
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8


Comment 3 Jakub Jelinek 2007-04-27 11:15:02 UTC
Yeah, but you certainly don't have libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-51.fc6.i386.rpm
installed.  libstdc++ is the runtime library only package, libstdc++-devel
is for compilation/linking against that.

Comment 4 Feike Boomstra 2007-04-27 12:39:45 UTC
You are right, but I have the libstdc++-devel-4.1.1-51.fc6.x86_64.rpm installed, 
[feike@feike ~]$ rpm -qi libstdc++-devel

and rpm refuse to install the i386 package:

package allready installed.


Comment 5 Jakub Jelinek 2007-04-27 12:53:12 UTC
Not sure how you tried to install it, it certainly works for me.
E.g.
yum install libstdc++-devel.i386
works just fine.

Comment 6 Feike Boomstra 2007-04-27 13:35:54 UTC
You are right, yum works fine. I've got it working.

(Nb. What I tried: I downloaded the rpm file and in the download window there is
an option open. With that installer I was not able to install the package.)

Appearantly it was not a bug, so you are welcome to close it right away, but can
you tell me where I can find the info how to solve such an issue myself?

Anyway, thanks a lot,
kind regards,
Feike Boomstra


Comment 7 Feike Boomstra 2007-04-28 08:49:45 UTC
With all things running, I finally was able to find out how things went. In one
way or another I had installed the i386 version of the compiler. Appearantly
there is a dependency missing to the devel library.
