Many thanks!

Tim from Intel Forum told me to

source
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars.sh
intel64

- and since then, it worked.

Would be great if the compilervars.sh script would mention that it needs
to be sourced instead of just started. To be honest, I was also a little
confused by several copies of seemingly the same thing (OK the things in
bin are links):

# find /opt/intel/ -name "compilervars*"
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars_global.sh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars.csh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars_arch.csh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars.sh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars_global.csh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016.0.109/linux/bin/compilervars_arch.sh
/opt/intel/bin/compilervars.csh
/opt/intel/bin/compilervars.sh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016/linux/bin/compilervars.csh
/opt/intel/compilers_and_libraries_2016/linux/bin/compilervars.sh

Anyway: Many thanks for your reply!

Andreas
