As a short and simple approach, I just compiled the current R release on Ubuntu with ICC and MKL using just this:
$ tar -xzf R-3.2.2.tar.gz $ cd R-3.2.2 $ CC=icc CXX=icpc AR=xiar LD=xild CFLAGS="-g -O3 -xHost" CXXFLAGS="-g -O3 -xHost" ./configure --with-blas="-lmkl_rt -lpthread" --with-lapack --enable-memory-profiling --enable-R-shlib $ make $ sudo make install $ R --version R version 3.2.2 (2015-08-14) -- "Fire Safety" If you have 'ifort' available, you would probably want to add it to the list of environment variables. --nate ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
