Next step is to try icc instead of gcc, and if that works, try the latest MKL (10.0.3.020). OK, either I've got a corrupted copy of MKL 10.0.3.020, or it has a problem. Building with icc MKL 10.0.1.014 works. Erik, are you reading this? If so, roll back to MKL 10.0.014 and it should work,

I am trying to build numpy with intel icc and mkl. I don't understand a lot of what I am doing. Me, too. I have built it with icc MKL several times in the past, but cannot build the numpy svn with MKL now. I can build it with icc and no MKL, and it passes all the tests with no errors.
