I tried compiling, installing and running the deal.ii tests interactively on a KNL compute node. Both compilation and installation were seemingly successful but all the tests failed. I have attached the output from make test in the file test_output.txt. An example error looks like the following :
gmake[6]: *** write jobserver: Invalid argument. Stop.
gmake[5]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:10829: tests/quick_tests/CMakeFiles/step.debug.run.dir/rule] Error 2
gmake[4]: *** [Makefile:3700: step.debug.run] Error 2
