and this rings another bell:
* some of the *licenses* that Intel provides are buggy, on either icc/impi/imkl 
domains.
* look who is being implicated here (bullet #3): ;-)

Suggestion: 
check with other impi stacks and if they install/function smoothly,
then simply ask support via Intel website for the supplementary license blob
to overcome the relevant bug, referring to your current license.
(that's what I had to do there, to receive the workaround)

Clarification: 
not all license files manifest that bug; don't ask who has the bug and why it's 
there...

enjoy,
Fotis
