Can you try to use "-mkl=cluster" (scalapack) and "-mkl=sequential"? It 
is used in most recent versions of mkl and I have the impression that it 
is more reliable than selecting the libraries by hand.

type "help test" in bash for more info, anyway:
EXPR1 -o EXPR2 True if either expr1 OR expr2 is true
i.e.
test a == a -o a == b ;

2) there are many tests like the following
     if test "$this" = $that"; then ... fi;
   but there are also several test with a double == :
     if test "$this" == $that"; then ... fi;
   Are they the same?

they are equivalent, but test in principle only uses a single "="

cheers
