MKL for RRO-3.2 Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit

[rspreafico]

Hello,

I installed RRO-3.2 on Ubuntu 15.04 64-bit, and then attempted to install the matching MKL library. Looks like the installation script wasn't able to find RRO-3.2 installed, and therefore refused to install MKL. At least in my system, I was able to trace it down to an error in the expected RRO installation path, lines 89 and 95 of RevoMath.sh

My RRO installation folder: /usr/lib64/RRO-3.2.0/R-3.2.0/lib/R/bin/R

The RRO installation folder expected from the script: /usr/lib64/RRO-3.2.0/R-3.2.0/lib64/R/bin/R

Best,

Roberto

Hi Roberto,

This issue arose because, like most R users, your default library path points to your user folder instead of RRO. The MKL installer was expecting it to point to RRO. 

To get MKL working on your system:

1. Please uninstall MKL. This way we'll start with a clean slate.

2. Reset the library path for the current session, type:

    .libPaths("/usr/lib64/RRO-3.2.0/R.3.2.0/lib")  

(Tip: To make this change permanently you'd have to put this in your usr/lib64/RRO-3.2.0/R-3.2.0/etc/Rprofile.site)

3. Install MKL again.

Let me know if that fixes the issue for you.
