Note that 'intel 2022' is a bit vague.  The current version is 2023.1.0, 
and that has both the 'classic' (icc/icpc/ifort which it seems you used) 
and new (icx/ixpx/ifx) compilers -- the former are said to be going to 
be discontinued later this year.  R did not know about ifx so did not 
build with the new set.

The parts of the manual Tomas referred to were about the old compilers: 
the manual has now been re-written in R-devel and R-patched to major on 
the newer ones.  We have patched the code to work with both old and new 
compilers, pending a more thorough investigation of matherr.

In our experiments Intel Fortran only worked in conjunction with oneAPI 
MKL -- see the manual.  It seems ifx is still under development, so it 
should pay to use only the latest versions.

This is the first report on Intel compilers since 2015, so they are 
rather low priority for the R developers.
