Hi, There is a longstanding issue on our site regarding the intel fortran runtime for some packages. I assume other sites have the same, but am not sure it was ever discussed here.
We are using hierarchical modules in production. If a package is build with an intel toolchain, you can load it by either loading the icc, impi or ifort, impi component of that toolchain. If a package (e.g. Caffe-1.0-intel-2017a-Python-2.7.13.eb) requires the Fortran runtime but it is loaded via the icc route, you get runtime errors because of the missing libifport.so. A possible fix could be to load either of the ifort or intel modules inside the package (e.g. Caffe) module. I assume that would need to be done in the easy-block or further down inside the easybuild framework. Any comments or insights? Apologies if that was discussed before. Best wishes Joachim
