The Intel® IPP 5.2.01 for Linux* (package IDs l_ipp_ia32_p_5.2.059.tgz and l_ipp_em64t_p_5.2.059.tgz) is tested on Ubuntu 7.10 and Debian 4.0r1 and direct installation will work for these versions as well as the distributions listed in the Intel IPP system requirements.

If installation is not working on your Linux distribution, first check to see that you are installing the latest available Intel IPP package as we are continually updating our installation software. In addition, below are 4 methods to try for installing on other Linux distributions.

How to install Intel IPP 5.2 on Debian:

1. If there is not a valid FLEXlm license in /opt/intel/licenses , start the installation as usual. The installer will show some error message like “no RPM installed”.
2. Launch ./install/install --nonrpm (or ./install_{arch}/install --nonrpm in case of CD package).

How to install Intel IPP 5.2 on Ubuntu:

1. Set the /bin/sh as a soft link to /bin/bash .
2. If there is not a valid FLEXlm license in /opt/intel/licenses , start the installation as usual. The installer will show some error message like “no RPM installed”.
3. Launch ./install/install --nonrpm (or ./install_{arch}/install --nonrpm in case of CD package).

How to install Intel IPP 5.2 using RPM:

1. Unpack the Intel IPP .tar file, then you have two files: install and license.
2. Run ./install and follow the menu system. When prompted for location to unpack the files, read the license. If you do not have root permissions the system will exit.
3. The RPM file is located in the unpacking directory that you specified.
4. Manually install the RPM directly if your Linux version supports it.

How to install Intel IPP 5.2 on non-RPM Linux Distributions:

1. Follow steps 1 through 3 above.
2. Convert the RPM file to your Linux install package format (e.g. use ‘alien’ to convert RPM to other formats).
3. Use the appropriate Linux package mechanism to install the Intel IPP.

Note: Using the script /opt/intel/ipp/X.X/ia32/tools/env/ippvars32.sh (default location) sets the environment variables only for the duration of the current console. Follow the instructions for your Linux distrubution in order to set these variable globally.
