The Intel® IPP for Linux* shared libraries dispatch optimized code for the various families of Intel® microprocessors. At run time, the shared libraries will detect the system processor and automatically load the correct processor-specific libraries. For example, when using default installation settings, the shared libraries are installed to the directory /opt/intel/ipp/X.X/ia32/sharedlib.

Before using the Intel® IPP shared libraries, you need to add the path to the libraries to the system variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH by either using the shell script or manually setting the environment.

• Use the Intel IPP shell script to set the required environment variables for shared library dispatching and building code samples:
  • Open a Terminal.
  • Navigate to the Intel IPP directory /tools/env.
  • Type source ippvars32.sh ( or ippvarsem64t.sh for Intel(R) 64 processors)
  
  
• Manually set the environment variable:
  • Open a Terminal.
  • If the libraries are in the /opt/intel/ipp/X.X/ia32/sharedlib folder, and then type export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/intel/ipp/X.X/ia32/sharedlib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
