Hi all, Can anyone recommend the best way to get a native LAPACK installed on Fedora core 4? I'm quite surprised that I can't find an atlas rpm with yum. While I'm at it, when I was using Gentoo, it came with a nice atlas blas/lapack. Unfortunately, the atlas lapack does not include all of lapack. It has everything Numeric/numarray needs, but not some stuff i need for another project (Banded Matrix solvers). Does anyone have a suggestion for how to add the addional lapack stuff I need, while still using atlas stuff where possible? Frankly, I don't understand why atlas doesn't just include all of lapack, using generic versions for anything they haven't optimized, it would be a lot easier to get one stop shopping. -Chris
