I finally went to a completely default configuration (this is a test machine I can play with), and no way. I'm a bit tight now, but I'll try later on with EB 2.6.0 to see whether it makes a difference. Although I don't think so as the intel own installer failed on this license, even with intel support telling me that it should be ok for impi. I guess in both cases you installed the same toolchain/version, right?
