failed to install python 2.7.14 for Intel 2017b toolchain

[murfreesboro]

I tried to install the Python-2.7.14-intel-2017b.eb through "eb --debug --parallel=1 Python-2.7.14-intel-2017b.eb", but it failed on the numpy stage. It reported the error that "can not find the Fortran compiler". Here below is the error message from the log:

@murfreesboro Can you check in the (numpy) build directory if there's a log file somewhere that provides more information?

Should be somewhere in /tmp/Python/2.7.14/intel-2017b/numpy/numpy-1.13.1 by the looks of it...

Maybe also share the full log somewhere, since we can't tell here what command was being run exactly...

@boegel Thank you for your help. Somehow the issue fixed in my box. Maybe I installed something changed the setting to make the error go away. Thank you anyway!

[murfreesboro]

error fixed. Close the issue.

@murfreesboro Did you update the numpy version when you ran into this? Looks like you were hitting this issue: numpy/numpy#12831...
