icc should be slotted. I guess we really need an eselect-icc plugin or something to do this properly. Assigned to bicatali@gentoo.org as he suggested it in another bug.
It is work involved and I don't know if I care enough about Intel software to have time to invest. If anyone interested, dev-lang/icc, dev-lang/ifc, dev-lang/idb, sci-libs/mkl, sci-libs/ipp and may be dev-cpp/tbb would have to be slotted simultaneously with probably a common eselect mechanism.
stupid idea in my opinion.
(In reply to comment #2) > stupid idea in my opinion. Uh, thanks? gcc is slotted, why shouldn't icc also be? Plus, with the mess that is icc-11's C++, being able to slot this would help. Do you have anything to contribute or are you just a troll?
