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: hyayh@vmastro:~/sextractor-master$ ./autogen.sh Preparing the SExtractor build system...please wait

Found GNU Autoconf version 2.69 Found GNU Automake version 1.16.1 Found GNU Libtool version 2.4.6

The SExtractor build system is now prepared.

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!

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.
