I hope this hasn't been asked before (my searches have returned nil though): Prior to kits deployment, I used Intel's math kernel library via the science overlay's ebuild (sci-libs/mkl-11.3.2.181). With the current master branch of science-kit, the latest version is substantially older: # eix mkl -Ic [?] sci-libs/mkl [1] (11.3.2.181[?]@06/16/2017 -> (~)10.0.5.025-r1^ms): Intel(R) Math Kernel Library: linear algebra, fft, math functions [1] "science-kit" /var/git/meta-repo/kits/science-kit So mkl-10.0.5.025-r1 is the most recent version available on the master branch. But this ebuild has a problem with its license file, which is apparently expired: # cat /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mkl-10.0.5.025-r1/work/l_mkl_p_10.0.5.025/install/log.txt | tail -n 20 Mon 09 10:35:49 shell.c:35 runShellCmd():Command to execute: 'uname -m 2>/dev/null' Mon 09 10:35:49 shell.c:76 runShellCmd():Capturing STDOUT Mon 09 10:35:49 shell.c:89 runShellCmd():GOT 7 bytes from STDOUT Mon 09 10:35:49 shell.c:119 runShellCmd():waitpid() status for the executed command: 0 Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:98 determineFLEXLM_platform():Trying to determine FLEXlm platform for machine name x86_64 Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:448 check_license_file():Checking file /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mkl-10.0.5.025-r1/work/NCOM_L___3X2P-FCR66XC3_1.lic for valid FLEXlm license Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:449 check_license_file():runpath /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mkl-10.0.5.025-r1/temp/install_temp.c8312478a5c96933c088f94653d1d814 Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:450 check_license_file():-a -q Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:451 check_license_file():chklic_f_opt -fMKernL -fMKern -fCLMKernL -fCLMKern Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:452 check_license_file():chklic_c_opt -c"/var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mkl-10.0.5.025-r1/work/NCOM_L___3X2P-FCR66XC3_1.lic" Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:453 check_license_file():chklic_p_opt -pi86_r -pi86_re -pit64_lr -pit64_re Mon 09 10:35:49 check_license.c:282 call_flexlm_chklic():Call a /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mkl-10.0.5.025-r1/temp/install_temp.c8312478a5c96933c088f94653d1d814/zchklic86_64 -a -fMKernL -fMKern -fCLMKernL -fCLMKern -c"/var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mkl-10.0.5.025-r1/work/NCOM_L___3X2P-FCR66XC3_1.lic" -pi86_r -pi86_re -pit64_lr -pit64_re &>/dev/null command.
