Re: how do I access f77 libraries on linux (for lapack and blas)? [SOLVED]

This problem is now solved using the latest lapack and blas rpms.

I sent a plea for help to

The libraries were developed on Solaris on Suns in poplog and worked
fine there, but on linux ,,,

I have now solved the problem as follows, and tested it on two linux
machines, one running redhat 9 on an athlon-based PC and one running
redhat 9 with a 2.4.26  kernel (to support software suspend) on a
dell D600 laptop, as follows.

On the athlon I installed all of these, in this order

libg2c-3.4.3-2.athlon.rpm

blas-3.0-29.athlon.rpm
blas-devel-3.0-29.athlon.rpm

lapack-3.0-29.athlon.rpm
lapack-devel-3.0-29.athlon.rpm

On the dell I installed these in this order
libg2c-3.4.3-2.i686.rpm

blas-3.0-29.i686.rpm
blas-devel-3.0-29.i686.rpm

lapack-3.0-29.i686.rpm
lapack-devel-3.0-29.i686.rpm

Those rpm files were obtained from the PLD distribution libraries
http://ftp.pld.org.pl/dists/ac/ready/
(for which many thanks to the PLD team).

There were also some minor changes required in the Pop11 code which
are now available in a temporary package at
