Description

This occurs in AstrOmatic packages that depend on Levmar, such as PSFEx and SExtractor, when linked with the MKL library V11.3 Update 3 (./configure --enable-mkl configuration).

(!) This appears to be a problem with LAPACK workspace queries which seem to be broken (returning 0) in the latest version of the MKL (11.3 update 3); see this post and INTEL's reply

So we have two options:
  • wait for the next MKL update (probably a few weeks from now), or
  • modify the code to compute the work array size ourselves. But this may require digging into LAPACK's guts.

Thanks a lot Emmanuel, for looking into this.

Is there tangible information that there will me an MKL update in the coming weeks?
