Hi,

I installed lapack previous versions by taking the following steps:

% tar -zxvf lapack.tgz
% cd lapack-3.2/
% cp make.inc.example make.inc
% vi make.inc
% make all

but in the new version of 3.4.0, I receive the following error which I can not figure out what file is missing:

hana@linux-xg3a:~/Desktop/lapack-3.4.0> make all
( cd INSTALL; make; ./testlsame; ./testslamch; ./testdlamch; \
./testsecond; ./testdsecnd; ./testieee; ./testversion )

Which Linux OS are you using ? Like Ubuntu 11.10 32bits, CentOS 6 64bits, etc.

About your errors :
A corrupt source package ? A missing /usr/bin/gfortran ?
( mpif90 is not required for the below mentioned source packages.)


A reliable source package is 1) lapack-3.4.0.tgz :
http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapack-3.4.0.tgz

cd lapack-3.4.0/ && mkdir build && cd build/ && cmake ../
&& make : No errors. But no shared libraries are created,
only libblas.a, liblapack.a


Or 2) source + patches : lapack-3.4.0-2.fc17.src.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...2.fc17.src.rpm
>>> rpmbuild -bb lapack.spec : No errors. Result =
liblapacke.so.3 liblapacke.so.3.4 liblapacke.so.3.4.0
liblapack.so.3 liblapack.so.3.4 liblapack.so.3.4.0 liblapack.so
libblas.so.3 libblas.so.3.4 libblas.so.3.4.0 libblas.so
liblapack.a libblas.a
