Dear Horst,
the other day I tried to install the INTEL Fortran compiler. I
downloaded the 64bit
version and the installer refused to install the compiler as it
detected a wrong
architecture.
I would rather see a change in the starlink software than making changes to my
linux box :-).
Looking forward to hear about any solutions.
Kind regards,
Toby :-)
