OK, I'm on the cusp of success now. I updated to the most recent code and get to a sequence of errors surround math functions. This must be due to linking the MKL libs. I tried various combinations (including those recommended by the MKL docs) but could not get around the errors. Looks like a missing header file(?) In any event, I hope this can be fixed by getting the right into in site.cfg. Currently I have:

[mkl]
include_dirs = C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\061\cpp\mkl\include
library_dirs = C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Compiler\11.0\061\cpp\mkl\em64t\lib
mkl_libs = mkl_em64t, mkl_dll, mkl_core    # various combinations of other tried...
lapack_libs = mkl_lapack

   Below is the relevant portion of the output. During config the libraries check in as "FOUND" so I'm pretty sure the paths above are good.

   Thanks,
   ~Mike C.
