Problem with "make -j" during installation Sextractor

[YushengEdward]

Hi,
As the install says, because my computer doesn't download icc or MKL, i run the command line "./configure --enable-mkl --enable-auto-flags --enable-best-link". It seemed to succeed but failed when i ran the code "make -j".The error is following:

Would you give me some help about this? Thank you very much!

Hi, sorry for the issue you are experiencing with the compilation. I would need some more details. What OS are you running? Thanks!

[YushengEdward]

Hello, what i use is Ubuntu 20.04，so it should be linux system. Thanks!

I had not realized that your system does not seem to have the Intel compiler installed. The --enable-mkl configure option actually requires the intel compiler (either icc or icx) to be installed, together with the MKL itself.
