Setting Environment Variables

The shell script ippvars.sh in the ipp/bin directory sets your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE environment variables for Intel IPP on the corresponding architecture. To do this run this file with the one of the following options in the command line:

ippvars.bat ia32|intel64|lp32.

Alternatively you can run the architecture specific shell script ippvars_<arch>.sh in the ipp/bin/<arch> directory to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LIB, and INCLUDE environment variables for the corresponding architecture.

To set environemnt variables manually, add the path to the shared library to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable as described in Using Intel(R) IPP Shared Object Libraries (SO). You also need to specify the location for the Intel IPP header and library files with the following commands:

export INCLUDE=$IPPROOT/include:$INCLUDE (bash),

setenv INCLUDE=$IPPROOT/include:${INCLUDE} (csh) - for header files;

export LIB=$IPPROOT/lib:$LIB (bash),

setenv LIB=$IPPROOT/lib:${LIB} (csh) - for library files.
