Hi,
this post was at http://root.cern.ch/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1345, where i described a problem I had compiling root with Intel’s Icc compiler. It died at xrootd - I disabled xrootd and then the compile died at
icc -O -fPIC -wd1476 -Iinclude -wd1572 -pthread -o unix/src/TUnixSystem.o -c unix/src/TUnixSystem.cxx

compilation aborted for unix/src/TUnixSystem.cxx (code 2)

I tracked this issue down on the Intel developers forum
softwareforums.intel.com/ids/boa … 2059#M2059
It seems that double underscore variables are reserved for the compiler, so they crash. I replaced “__interface” with “interface” in the file /usr/include/netinet/in.h and that solved the problem.
I think that they (Intel) are working on a proper fix, but in the meantime,
Thanks,
Bruce
