Install TBB on Linux 11.04

Question

I have been searching google and tbbs forums on how to install TBB.

I have downloaded both the linux and source from: http://threadingbuildingblocks.org/ver.php?fid=175

Extracted them using tar -xvf, and then ran the make file. Then I went to tbb/build/linux_intel64_gcc_cc4.5.2_libc,13_kernel2.6.38_debug/ and ran tbbvars.sh

I also tried running tbb/build/generate_tbbvars.sh, then tbbvars.sh and tbbvars.csh

No matter what I ty when I try to compile a program with -ltbb, i get /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libtbb.so when searching for -ltbb /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltbb

Any one know how to fix this?

Answer 1

This is another instance of the issue answered lucidly here. You have libraries of one bit width and are trying to link them into a compilation of a different bit width. If both your application compile process and your TBB build process were done on the same system, one of them must have done the wrong thing when deciding whether to output 32-bit code or 64-bit code.
