Scripts to Set Environment Variables

When the installation of Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) for Linux* is complete, set environment variables INCLUDE, MKLROOT, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, CPATH, NLSPATH, and PKG_CONFIG_PATH using the …vars script (either setvars or oneapi-vars, depending on your installation).

The scripts accept the oneMKL-specific parameters, explained in the following table:

Setting Specified

Required
(Yes/No)

Possible Values

Comment

Architecture

Yes,
when applicable

intel64

 

Use of Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) Fortran modules precompiled with the Intel®Fortran compiler

No

mod

Supply this parameter only if you are using this compiler.

Programming interface (LP64 or ILP64)

No

lp64, default

ilp64

 

For example:

  • The command setvars.sh ia32 sets the environment for Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) to use the Intel 32 architecture.

  • The command setvars.sh intel64 mod ilp64
    sets the environment for Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) to use the Intel 64 architecture, ILP64 programming interface, and Fotran modules.

  • The command setvars.sh intel64 mod
    sets the environment for Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library (oneMKL) to use the Intel 64 architecture, LP64 interface, and Fotran modules.

NOTE:

Supply the parameter specifying the architecture first, if it is needed. Values of the other two parameters can be listed in any order.
