Compiling numpy 1.9.2 with Intel compiler on EL7

While trying to compile numpy 1.9.2 with the Intel compiler on EL7 I got the following error:

+ /opt/pyvenv/nwra-1.0/bin/python -c 'import pkg_resources, numpy ; numpy.test()'
Traceback (most recent call last):

Turns out this was because of an install issue.  I had neglected to install the intel-compilerproc-vars-187 and intel-compilerprof-vars-187 packages.  I had assumed that they only contained the iccvars.*sh and ifortvars.*sh files, which I did not need.  However, they also contain crucial system headers including /opt/intel/composer_xe_2015.3.187/compiler/include/xmmintrin.h which would have superseded the gcc one and prevented the gcc implementation from sneaking in.

  1. Thanks, I just got this same error with Composer 2015 3 years later!
