IntelVisualFortran Compiler 11.1, 64bit-systems, NONMEM7

dear NONMEM-users, It is one month that I try installing NONMEM on a 64-bit WIN7 system. First I understood that IntelVisualFortran Compiler 11.1 was necessary because good-old CompaqVisualFotran is not compatible with 64-bit systems. By installing IntelVisualFortran 11.1, it became clear that Microsoft software-development-kits (SDK) have also to be installed. After (seemingly) successful installation of SDK and IntelVisualFotran 11.1, the software indicates installation-command to be "ifort". However, when trying to install NONMEM7 via MS-DOS and typing: D: SETUP7 D: C:\nm7 ifort y link reg norec i unzip.exe nonmem7e.zip nonmem7r.zip ...compiler check fails, and "ifort" is not recognized, respectively. Since I am not getting further help from ICON, I wonder if other users have encountered similar problems. Generally, installation with new IntelVisualFortran Compiler seems rather complex, especially for setting the environmental properties. thanks for any idea about how to proceed best regards Markus -- Markus Joerger MD PhD Department of Medical Oncology Rorschacherstr. 95 9007 St. Gallen markus.joerger markus.joerger phone: +41-765591070 fax: +41-714946368
Dear markus Here is what I think you should do. You have to find the batch file that sets your fortran environmental files and copy it in the directory fronm which you want to run nonmem. Then you first go to that directory using dos and run that batch file. You will see amessage that tellls that the environmental variables have been set. Then from that directory, try to run nonmem. I have intel 10.1 and ran into the same problem. My batch file was something like df...var.. (I forgot the exact name but iconus knows about it).

Hi Markus, I have no experience with NM7, but we have installed NM6.2 with IVF 11.1 in 64 bit Windows7. We used the "Intel Fortran Command prompt" (from the Intel Fortran Folder) for both installing and running NONMEM. By using this "IVF command prompt", I understand we use the correct environment for FORTRAN compiler. Earlier, I had the similar problems, then later was advised by some experts to run from Intel Fortran command prompt, that the installation went without any problem. I think it is also good to note that we also selected "x64 Compiler and Tools" while installing MS Visual Studio 2008 -professional edition, which is required for 64 bit computers. By default this is selected in standard edition of MS Visual Studio, but not in the professional edition of MS Visual Studio 2008.

Dear Markus, This is a well recognised problem with Intel Visual Fortran to do with environment variables, and the general solution was documented by Bill Bachman in the following post: http://www.cognigencorp.com/nonmem/current/2009-October/2077.html I've documented a setup (Win 7 64 bit) for my own system which might provide additional help. Please note that these instructions are Visual Fortran version specific! (file locations have changed from 11.0 to 11.1 for instance). Cheers, Rik Intel Visual Fortran 11.1 under Windows 7 64 bit If you want to use a functionality like "start command prompt here" you need to make and update a number of environment variables. This is a fairly complex set of variables that can be found by examining what variables the "Fortran Build Environment for applications running on Intel(R) 64" command prompt that is generated during the installation creates. Check out the properties of the command prompt and be aware that several batch files are called in sequence. The environment variables below were found to work with 11.1.048 on a 64 bit Windows machine. Go to Control panel/System/Advanced system settings/Advanced/Environment variables and modify (Edit..) or create (New..) the variables below. The following environment variables are needed and automatically created during install if you use the default settings: Variable: IFORT_COMPILER11 Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.1\048\ Variable: INTEL_LICENSE_FILE Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Intel\Licenses These need to be created manually: Variable: VSINSTALLDIR Value: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\ Variable: LIB Value: %IFORT_COMPILER11%\Lib\intel64;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\lib\amd64;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC \PlatformSDK\lib\x64; Variable: INCLUDE Value: %IFORT_COMPILER11%\Include;%IFORT_COMPILER11%\Include\Intel64;%VSINSTALLDIR% \VC\atlmfc\include;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\include;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\PlatformSDK\i nclude; The PATH variable is updated during a full install with something like: %IFORT_COMPILER11%lib\Intel64;%IFORT_COMPILER11%lib\ia32;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\074\fortran\mkl\em64t\bin; but these additions are useless and can be removed if you like. Edit the PATH variable and add at the beginning of the existing PATH: c:\nm710b\run\;%IFORT_COMPILER11%\Bin\intel64;%VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\IDE;%VS INSTALLDIR%\Common7\Tools;%VSINSTALLDIR%\Common7\Tools\bin;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC \BIN\x86_amd64;%VSINSTALLDIR%\VC\PlatformSDK\bin; The c:\nm710b\run\ addition is for NONMEM7 when installed in c:\nm710b (saves you doing it later on) Installing NONMEM VII under Windows 7 64 bit For Windows 7, an edited SETUP7.bat file is required. The original SETUP7.bat contains a line that states: call .\util\dotest.bat %f% This line should do a test of the compiler but does not work in Windows 7 and causes the installation procedure to crash. The entire line should be removed (commenting out is not enough). Assuming your installation files are located at c:\downloads\nonmem7, open a command prompt and type: setup7 c:\downloads\nonmem7 c:\nm710b ifort y link big norec i this will install the Big version of NONMEM VII in directory nm710b. Makes sure the annually updated license file is in C:\nm710b\license. Nonmem7 can now be run from anywhere using the nmfe7 infile outfile command. _____

Dear Rik, Yes, this is indeed Markus' problem which I have communicated to him directly. Thanks very much for your Version 11 and 64-bit specific input. Every version of Intel Fortran seems to change the process just enough to confuse the issue even more. We hope our users see the magnitude of the issue ICON faces: We have tried for better or worse to design NONMEM 7 to run with ALL Fortran 95 compilers on ALL possible platforms. We do not have all possible permutations and combinations in house yet we still try to help not only with the installation of our products but with third party products for which we have no part in the design and installation. I personally regret if we sometimes are less successful than 100% and any frustation that may result. Best regards, Bill William J.

Hello Colleagues, We have somewhat similar issues. We try to use gfortran and Windows Vista. When we look at versions of gfortran, some of them say that they are good for both 32 and 64 bit computers. Thus, it looks like they are 32 versions which can work on 64bit computers. They do not take advantage of a 64bit computer, but they work. When I try to use a version that does not mention 32 bit, it does not work. Eventually, we all will have 64bit computers. Does 64bit fortran have any advantages over 32bit fortran when it works with NONMEM7? It is a key question. Tahnks, Pavel

Hi Serge, Intel 11 is different (it no longer uses ifortvar.bat) and the other complication is the use on 64-bit Windows 7. The instructions sent by Rik earlier are applicable here. The suggestion sent by Martin Johnson will also work, NONMEM can be installed and run from the Intel Build Environment window. However, in Markus' case the linker component from Microsoft that is required by the Intel compiler may not have been installed. USUALLY, the Intel Fortran installation correctly configures the compiler and linker environment for the Build Environment window (but not a common DOS window). Bull _____

I do agree it is indeed an Intel issue and not an Iconus one but may be Intel 10.1 is not too different from Intel 11. Look at the path similar to mine in 10.1 C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\Fortran\10.1.011\IA32\Bin I guess you will have something like C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\Fortran\11.1\IA64\Bin In the 10.1 version the batch file that sets the environmental variables is called ifortvars.bat If this is indeed the case, copy that file in the directory where you want to run your nonmem model file. Suppose it is c:\nm7.1.2 Go to DOS and then type ifortvars May be you can even copy the ifortvars.bat file into a new batch file you would call ifort.bat and then run the nonmem default setup. I did not do it but it may work. By the way, if you run form a different directory, you have to copy that batch file into that directory and run it every time. I did not succeed to automate that environmental variable setting. For some unknown reason, I have also to reset the environmental variables every time I access again that directory (after I closed it).

Hi, For a 64bit platform you need 64bit processor, 64bit OS and 64 bit software... Assuming you are using WinXP you will have 32bit OS between your 64 bit processors and software... Discussing the advantages of 64 bit over 32bit is, in my opinion, a moot point: the industry has gone from 16bit to 32 in the past so will now go to 64. That's just a fact and in essence the only decision left to you is WHEN to switch to 64bit. We have done some tests using the 64-bit intel fortran compiler that have shown that NONMEM7 gives exactly the same results on Win7, Linux, and MacOSX. (64bit versions). So if you choose to change sooner rather than later you can get extra mileage out of your 64bit XP machines for free by giving 64bit Linux a try or by buying Win7 licenses. K.

When we look at versions of gfortran, some of them say that they are good for both 32 and 64 bit computers. Thus, it looks like they are 32 versions which can work on 64bit computers. They do not take advantage of a 64bit computer, but they work. When I try to use a version that does not mention 32 bit, it does not work. Eventually, we all will have 64bit computers. Does 64bit fortran have any advantages over 32bit fortran when it works with NONMEM7? It is a key question. Tahnks, > > Pavel >
