Hello Brian,
I have been trying several options to configure and providing
"-lcblas" was just one of them. I added echos for the following variable
towards the configure. And with all of them I am getting the following
use_lapack is unset
with lapack is *<NIL>*
Use_External_lapack_true #
Lapack_libs -L$(R_HOME)/lib$(R_ARCH) -lRlapack
I tried to overwrite the libRlapack.so in $(R_HOME)/lib and lapack.so in
$(R_HOME)/modules/ both before and after doing make, *again, *but in either
case I am getting the same SIGSEGV as mentioned earlier.
FYI, we are using an in house developed lapack for our specific platform.
Could there be any specific issues in using the same?
Regards,
Imanpreet Singh Arora
