Checking Your Installation

After completing the installation of Intel IPP, confirm proper installation and configuration of the library with the following steps:

Check the installation directory. The default installation directory is /opt/intel/composer_xe_2011_sp1.
Check that file ippvars.sh is placed in the bin directory. You can use this file to set the environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE in the user shell.
Check that the dispatching and processor-specific libraries are on the path.

If you receive error message "No shared library was found in the Waterfall procedure", this means that the operating system is unable to determine the location of the Intel IPP shared object libraries. To solve this issue:

Ensure that the Intel IPP directory is in the path. Before using the Intel IPP shared libraries, add path to the shared libraries to the system variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH as described in Using Intel® IPP Shared Object Libraries (SO).
