Setting the Intel® Cluster Checker Environment

Two files are provided with Intel Cluster Checker to set the shell environment, clckvars.sh and clckvars.csh.  Among other things, having a proper environment ensures that the license file can be located, man pages are available, and the cluster-check program is part of your PATH. 

If the environment is not set, Intel® Cluster Checker may not function properly.

The script that you use depends on your shell.  

For Bourne-derivative shells (bash, ksh, sh):

source /opt/intel/clck/1.4/clckvars.sh

For C shell (csh or tcsh): 

source  /opt/intel/clck/1.4/clckvars.csh

If you are unsure what shell you are using, run the following command:

ps -p $$

Rather than setting the environment each time you login, consider adding the appropriate command to your shell startup file (e.g., .bashrc, .cshrc).

Note: the examples in this article are based on Intel® Cluster Checker 1.4.  For other versions, you will need to adjust the path.
