On my ~x86 installation, ipp-11.1.072 specified the following paths in env36ipp IPPROOT=/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/ipp/ LDPATH=${IPPROOT}/sharedlib LIB=${IPPROOT}/lib LIBRARY_PATH=${IPPROOT}/lib CPATH=${IPPROOT}/include NLSPATH=${IPPROOT}/lib/locale/%l_%t/%N However, the correct paths should be IPPROOT=/opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/ipp/ LDPATH=${IPPROOT}/ia32/sharedlib LIB=${IPPROOT}/ia32/lib LIBRARY_PATH=${IPPROOT}/ia32/lib CPATH=${IPPROOT}/include NLSPATH=${IPPROOT}/ia32/lib/locale/%l_%t/%N As the libs were installed in /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/ipp/ia32/lib/ and /opt/intel/Compiler/11.1/072/ipp/ia32/sharedlib/ As a result, programs which look for the ipp libs are unable to find them. For example, it appears the solution to https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405983 is simply to correct the paths in the ipp environment variables. However, anyone who works on this bug should probably be mindful of https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=344703
smells all bad here. I will take a look into it.
All borked versions are gone.
