I understand that editinf ./configre by hand isn't the best way of doing this.

What I mean is that the ./configure file, as shipped, contains an
obsolete argument, namely "-lmkl", which causes compilation faliures
because there is no libmkl.* file in ${MKL}/lib/em64t.

So, I get this error:

ld: cannot find -lmkl

In fact, Intel's documentation never mention -lmkl, but
-lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_intel_thread -lmkl_core, for example.

Should I file a bug?

I managed to make icc work with fftw3 and all went fine, I'll keep icc
for the while and try to make MKL work.

Thanks.
