Hi again Fotis, I just found out a few minutes that the impi license we had was a demo. We apparently didn't purchase impi. This clearly means that I won't be building ictce. I tried to look for an alternative, but only found one; iomkl. The problem is that the eb file there is very old. There is only iomkl-4.6.13.eb which requires l_ccompxe_2011.13.367.tgz and we apparently don't have that either.
I was wondering, if it isn't too much trouble, if a new version of iomkl could be made that uses l_ccompxe_2013_sp1.1.106.tgz, or can I just edit the eb file and swap out the dependencies for the new ones? In other words, can I just make a copy of imkl-10.3.12.361-OpenMPI-1.6.3.eb and edit it to use 2013_sp1.1.106 for icc and ifort, as well as make a copy of iomkl-4.6.13.eb and edit it to use 2013_sp1.1.106 for icc and ifort and replace the imkl dependency with my copy of it? I presume this will work, but I didn't want to go through the trouble if I was completely wrong.

(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 -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # Yelling in a CERN forum
