@boegel looks good to me, but another build report would be good.

3 successful test reports and 1 failed. @boegel what happened in your failed test?

[boegel]

@damianam Still need to figure that out, it's quite strange...

The rebuild keep failing consistently on one system.

This problem occurs when installing the gdsfmt extension:

...
cd XZ && tar -xzf xz-5.2.3.tar.gz
cd XZ/xz-5.2.3 && \
    ./configure CC="icc" CPP="icc -E" CXX="icpc " CXXCPP="icpc  -E" --build="" --with-pic --enable-silent-rules --quiet > /dev/null
configure: error: in `/tmp/eb-ITCcNO/RtmpV08qnF/R.INSTALLe792423b9354/gdsfmt/src/XZ/xz-5.2.3':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details
make: *** [liblzma.a] Error 77
ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘gdsfmt’

From the config.log:

ld: cannot find -licuuc
ld: cannot find -licui18n
configure:5281: $? = 1

This problem didn't occur before, and it also doesn't occur when building XZ-5.2.3-GCCcore-6.4.0.eb (although there we're building with gcc, not icc).

The problem seems to be that libicu-devel is not (or no longer?) there. It's unclear to me why I'm not seeing this everywhere, but the problem here is basically a missing dependency...

In fact, this reminds me that I was seeing a very similar issue for the rJava extension in the R easyconfigs, so let's fix this properly, see #6371

retested after including the missing ICU dependency into R via #6371

good to go now!

[vanzod]

Going in, thanks @boegel!
