CERN provides a link to a LAPACK source code described at http://www.netlib.org/lapack/ It can be downloaded from http://cernlib.web.cern.ch/cernlib/install/lapack3.html by clicking on "lapack.tgz" I've been adviced to use the equivalent package meant for SuSE downloadable from http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1805848/com/blas-3.0-923.i586.rp... But CERLIB expects the ".a" lapack library as specified at http://cernlib.web.cern.ch/cernlib/install/lapack3.html whereas the rpm file for SuSE provides the ".so"
I don't understand your problem. The pbone package provides both the static (.a) as the dynamic libraries. (.so) vankan@pavilion:~> ls /usr/lib/libblas* /usr/lib/libblas.a /usr/lib/libblas.so /usr/lib/libblas.so.3 /usr/lib/libblas.so.3.0.0 In fact they're only two files (.a and .so.3.0.0) and two symlinks. These are NOT the lapack subroutines btw but only the blas (basic linear algebra subroutines). The lapack rpm for Suse can be found at http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=lapack Regards, -- Jos van Kan registered Linux user #152704
