Getting SciPy to work with MKL and GNU threads

Hi All,

I am attempting to find a workaround for a user who wants to build NumPy and SciPy with MKL, but use the GNU toolchain to compile. I have followed the instructions at

https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/numpyscipy-with-intel-mkl

For doing just this, however when we attempt to test SciPy in this configuration we get the error

symbol lookup error: /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.2.146/mkl/lib/intel64/libmkl_gnu_thread.so: undefined symbol: omp_get_num_procs

after using export MKL_THREADING_LAYER=GNU and MKL_THREADING_INTERFACE=GNU

I cannot find a suitable workaround for the user. Can you offer any insight as to why this may be happening?

We are using python 2.6 for this user who requires a custom build with custom versions of numpy and scipy, along with intel 2013.

Thanks very much.
