How to know if MKL is installed?

Question

I am working in a new machine, and I can't find the path to the MKL libraries. Is there a way to know if and where they are installed ? I tried find -name, but I could find nothing. Maybe they are simply not installed. But how to be sure?

Answer 1

Posting this here, just in case anybody finds this useful:

Because I installed Intel's MKL on Ubuntu 16.04 directly with MKL's install_GUI.sh, I found my MKL installation at /home/{user-name}/intel/mkl .

Answer 2

Try to check with whereis <YOURAPPNAME/YOURLIBNAME>. More on whereis here

Generally speaking there might be a manual installation of some package which is not listed neither in standard binary locations neither in PATH.

In this case your only option is to do iterations over whole file system hierarchy and to check if a directory contains the executable file you are looking for.
