[Numpy-discussion] MKL with 64bit crashes

[Kashyap Ashwin]

I followed the advice given by the Intel MKL link adviser
(http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor/)

This is my new site.cfg:
mkl_libs = mkl_intel_ilp64, mkl_gnu_thread, mkl_core

I also exported CFLAGS="-fopenmp" and built with the --fcompiler=gnu95.
Now I get these errors on import:
Running unit tests for numpy
NumPy version 1.3.0
NumPy is installed in
/opt/Personalization/lib/python2.5/site-packages/numpy
Python version 2.5.2 (r252:60911, Jul 22 2009, 15:33:10) [GCC 4.2.4
(Ubuntu 4.2.4-1ubuntu3)]
nose version 0.11.0

MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load neither libmkl_mc.so nor libmkl_def.so


Any hints?

Thanks,
Ashwin

The order does not look right - I don't know the exact order (each
version of the MKL changes the libraries), but you should respect the
order as given in the MKL manual.

This suggests an error when passing argument to MKL - I believe your
version of MKL uses the gfortran ABI by default, and hardy uses g77 as
the default fortran compiler. You should either recompile everything
with gfortran, or regenerate the MKL interface libraries with g77 (as
indicated in the manual).
