Hi Users:

I just wanted to share a Votca compilation problem and solution I 
encountered recently. When running the build.sh script, as described here 
(https://github.com/votca/csg/wiki/Installing#from-source), I encountered 
this error:

Basically CMake failed because the hashes on 
intel-mkl-and-boost-example.zip did not match -- the reason being that the 
downloaded intel-mkl-and-boost-example.zip was a zero byte file! I have no 
idea why; perhaps some obscure problem on our machine. I don't know CMake 
well enough, but it seems to be running with multiple threads -- maybe a 
race condition on download vs. hash? Just speculation.

Anyway I solved this by downloading the 'src' file from 
http://software.intel.com manually and putting it in the required location 
('dst'). Then I reran the build script, it picked up where it left off and 
completed without a problem.

Hopefully that helps someone. Thanks for this great tool!
