Hang,

I tried all you have tried and experienced all you have experienced. I switched to free SUSE Linux and then sucessfully installed Amber 8 with free Intel Fortran 90 compiler. That is what I did. Good luck!

Fangyu
P.S. when installing the compiler and Amber 8 in Linux, you need to have some basic Unix knowledge to make things work.
