[Pw_forum] mkl problem

Dear Giuseppe, 
Please notice that you are using an older (obsolete? eh, Intel certainly thinks so) version of MKL, the new standard INTEL has for MKL compile line is different (http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-mkl-link-line-advisor/) 
Newer versions of the espresso configure script look for the latter one. 
If there is significant demand for the older version, the configure script can be modified, with a sacrifice in performance in the configuration step of some select cases. 
Please let us know, 
Baris
