[Numpy-discussion] Installing numpy with MKL

[Søren Gammelmark]

It seems to me, that you are using an libiomp5 for Intel Itanium 
(lib/intel64) or such, but an MKL for EM64T-processors (lib/em64t). In 
my case I used EM64T in all cases (I'm running AMD Opteron) . I don't 
think the two types of libraries are compatible, but I might be wrong.
