After completing the installation of Intel IPP, confirm proper installation and configuration of the library with the following steps:
Intel IPP installs in <Composer XE directory>.
Check that the subdirectory of <Composer XE directory> referred to as <ipp directory> was created.
Check that the ippvars.sh is in the <ipp directory>/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 dynamic libraries. To solve this issue:
Ensure that the Intel IPP directory is in the path. Before using the Intel IPP dynamic libraries, add path to the libraries to the system variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can do this by using source/compilervars.sh or source/ippvars.sh scripts.
