Trying to compile a yen-specific R with Intel MKL. Following https://web.stanford.edu/group/proclus/cgi-bin/mediawiki/index.php/Software-R#admin_-_installing_R.2F3.1.0.mkl

as chekh on yen4

 mkdir /farmshare/software/free/r/yen-r
 wget https://cran.r-project.org/src/base/R-3/R-3.2.2.tar.gz
 tar zxvf R-3.2.2.tar.gz
 cd R-3.2.2/
 module load intel/2016
 CFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" FFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" FCFLAGS="-O2 -march=native" ./configure --with-blas="-L${MKLROOT}/lib/intel64 -lmkl_gf_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_lapack95_lp64 -lmkl_core" --with-lapack --prefix=/farmshare/software/free/r/yen-r/ir --enable-R-shlib

That will use gcc but Intel MKL to compile it.

configure results:
