Hi Inigo, thanks for the answer. Which version and main settings of EasyBuild were you using?
I ended up installing imkl and impi with EasyBuild 2.6.0 and the rest with EasyBuild 2.7.0. If there was any other difference between the 2 installations, I don't see it. Both used the same configuration file with the default naming scheme, hidden=True and some packages listed on the hidden list. We are also using an academic license.
