Andrew, You are correct. intel-536EP-537EP_2012_05_19.tar.bz2 is only tarred, but not bzip2 compressed, though possible our System is automatically uncompressing during downloading, through I doubt it. Phillipe, please check It does open merely with: $ tar xf intel*.tar.bz2 into folder intel-536-537/ Afterward you will still have to install the package autoconf, which the makefile depends on, and Philipe will have to help too. Philippe, see below and http://askubuntu.com/questions/65073/missing-linux-autoconf-h Where should a fix be inserted into your makefiles?
