[ofa-general] Compiling source using Intel Compiler

Yes, it is something from icc. The limited support for this type of  
error states that I need to load a compiler module in order for OpenSM  
to find the library. However, there's never a mention of the name of  
the module that I need to load. A modprobe -l *intel* gives the  
following:
lvm-intel.ko
intel_vr_nor.ko
intelfb.ko
intel-agp.ko
intel.rng.ko
snd-hda-intel.ko
snd-intel8x0m.ko
snd-intel8x0.ko
intel-agp.ich9m.ko

Nothing for a modprobe on *icc*. So, I'm stuck...

Our codes have a lot of Fortran 77 in them and gfortran hasn't been  
compiling those codes very well. Since we're using ifort for Fortran  
compiling, I figured we ought to use icc (C) and icpc (C++) to use a  
consistent compiler package. I don't know if programs partially  
compiled in gcc and ifort will work very well...
