xgboost may have a problem building and linking.

You can solve this problem by building your own xgboost. Download xgboost and modify the Makefile to remove the -msse2 flag from gcc.

Then python setup.py install xgboost somewhere, and retry doing

python setup.py install for plasma.

Edit setup.py to remove the check for mpicc, seems just to be a proxy to check that mpi is installed

python setup.py install
