Unable to build Numpy with Intel 17 #3204
Description
I'm trying to build py-numpy with Intel MKL, but although the build succeeds, numpy cannot be imported:
$ python -c 'import numpy'
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise ImportError(msg)
ImportError:
Importing the multiarray numpy extension module failed. Most
likely you are trying to import a failed build of numpy.
If you're working with a numpy git repo, try `git clean -xdf` (removes all
files not under version control). Otherwise reinstall numpy.
Does anyone know how to get numpy + MKL working?
P.S. My import tests from #2869 will detect this type of failed build before the installation is complete. On the current develop, I didn't notice there was a problem with numpy until I tried building scipy.
