I would like to use the Intel Fortran Compiler that is installed by the lang/ifc port. I followed the downloading instructions that come as a result of "make fetch" but Intel sent me l_fc_p_8.1.018.tar.gz, but the port requires l_fc_pc_8.0.046.tar.gz and l_fc_pc_8.0.046_pe050.1.tar.gz. So here are my questions: 1. Is it likely that lang/ifc will be updated soon? 2. Or is it possible to get hold of l_fc_pc_8.0.046.tar.gz and l_fc_pc_8.0.046_pe050.1.tar.gz from somewhere, and if so, will the non-commercial license that Intel sent me still work on this older version? 3. Or if I were to try to update the port myself, would a simple substitution of distfiles and a few other things in the Makefile do the job? I did a search on the mailing list of ports, and I saw some kind of discussion - maybe lseek doesn't work quite right or something. But my applications will be doing numerical calculations, and so if an lseek here or there doesn't work quite right, I can live with this. Anyway, all this discussion seemed to take place in April or May, and I wonder if people are still thinking about it? Thanks, Stephen P.S. The lang/icc port seems to work great, and for computationally intensive calculations seems to be faster than the gcc that comes with FreeBSD 5.3.
