symbol lookup error: /usr/pkg/fortran90/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035/lib/em64t/libmkl_vml_mc2.so: undefined symbol: mkl_serv_mkl_malloc

I'm experiencing the "symbol lookup error: 
/usr/pkg/fortran90/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035/lib/em64t/libmkl_vml_mc2.so: undefined 
symbol: mkl_serv_mkl_malloc" error when running python -vvv -c "import numexpr; 
numexpr.test()".

The fix r171 which solves #27 apparently does not work in my case. I'm working 
in a Fedora 8 x86_64 box, with Python 2.5.5 and compiling with gcc 4.1.2. MKL 
is version 10.2.5.035.

Both the build and the install steps were apparently successfull, and as far as 
I can see the site.cfg is correct (it includes the mkl_solver_ilp64
entry).

I include here the relevant snippets from the configuration file, the build 
step and the test run.

site.cfg:

library_dirs = /usr/pkg/fortran90/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035/lib/em64t
include_dirs = /usr/pkg/fortran90/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035/include
mkl_libs = mkl_core, mkl_solver_ilp64, mkl_intel_ilp64, mkl_intel_thread, iomp5

output of build stage:

mkl_info:
  FOUND:
    libraries = ['mkl_core', 'mkl_solver_ilp64', 'mkl_intel_ilp64', 'mkl_intel_thread', 'iomp5', 'pthread']
    library_dirs = ['/usr/pkg/fortran90/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035/lib/em64t']
    define_macros = [('SCIPY_MKL_H', None)]
    include_dirs = ['/usr/pkg/fortran90/intel/mkl/10.2.5.035/include']
