Build was successful after a change in distutils. Core 2 Duo, Debian Etch-32, Python 2.5, icc 10.1, ifort 10.1, & mkl 10.0. MKL & the compilers were installed to their default locations: /opt/intel/mkl/, /opt/intel/cc/, /opt/intel/fc/ Installation will not interfere with earlier versions. NumPy site.cfg for MKL 10.0 ========================================== [DEFAULT] library_dirs=/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.011/lib/32 include_dirs=/opt/intel/mkl/10.0.011/include [mkl] libraries=mkl,guide [lapack_info] libraries=mkl_lapack,mkl,guide ========================================== Changes in distutils: ========================================================= In MKL 9.1 & 10.0, mkl_lapack32 & mkl_lapack64 no longer exist. They were replaced by /32/mkl_lapack and /64/mkl_lapack. As a result, numpy-1.04/numpy/distutils/system_info.py needs to be changed: #lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['mkl_lapack32','mkl_lapack64']) lapack_libs = self.get_libs('lapack_libs',['mkl_lapack']) If the above change is not made numpy builds, but without using MKL. In numpy-1.04/numpy/distutils/ccompiler.py change: #cc_exe = 'icc' #works, but is suboptimal cc_exe = 'icc -msse3 -fast' #adjust to suit your cpu ========================================================= Running the command below (all one line) from the numpy-1.04 directory python setup.py config --compiler=intel build_clib --compiler=intel build_ext --compiler=intel install
