After upgrading to update 1 of Intel 2019 we are not able to run even an MPI hello world example. This is new behavior and e.g. a spack installed gcc 8.20 and OpenMPI have no trouble on this system. This is a single workstation and only shm needs to work. For non-mpi use the compilers work correctly. Presumably dependencies have changed slightly in this new update?
