Hi Justin, I had the same error, and fixed it by setting the LD_PRELOAD environment variable- export LD_PRELOAD=$mklroot/lib/intel64_lin/libmkl_avx512.so:$mklroot/lib/intel64_lin/libmkl_def.so Here, $mklroot is the the path to the MKL installation on your cluster.

Hi all,

I'm trying to install firedrake onto a skylake cluster, and I have to not only install firedrake as a local user but also to install my own python3. So PETSc, firedrake, and python3 is built using intel compilers.

So everything installs correctly, and nothing terrible happens when i type

python -c "from firedrake import *"

however, when I try to run any firedrake code, I get this error:

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load libmkl_avx512.so or libmkl_def.so.
