"trending" lib suggests to me new code with bugs. The netlib libraries are well-known and have been debugged for years. The netlib libraries are also quite portable. > I'm not sure about a symlink: would'nt it imply conflicts between > these different ports? How do you see it? My only concern is if I do gfortran -o myprog myprog.f90 -L/usr/local/lib -llapack -lblas I get myprog. If openblas or gotoblas or atlas is installed in preference to the netlib libraries, I would like the above to magically work. But, I suppose that this is just me. -- Steve
