Trying to build Sage 4.3.2 on Solaris 10 (SPARC), as a 64-bit build (my first
semi-serious attempt at 64-bit SPARC build), I get a failure:
checking for C interface to BLAS... not found
checking for others BLAS... not found
*******************************************************************************
ERROR: BLAS not found!
BLAS routines are required for this library to compile. Please
make sure BLAS are installed and specify its location with the option
--with-blas=<lib> when running configure.

sage: An error occurred while installing linbox-1.1.6.p3
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9101
Looking in spkg/standard/deps, I don't see anything to force BLAS to build
before linbox.
$(INST)/$(LINBOX): $(BASE) $(INST)/$(MPIR) $(INST)/$(NTL) $(INST)/$(GIVARO)
$(INST)/$(GSL) $(INST)/$(ATLAS)
$(SAGE_SPKG) $(LINBOX) 2>&1
It's strange I've never come across this before on a 32-bit build on the same
machine, yet the BLAS libraries are not installed as far as I'm aware.
drkir...@redstart:~$ ls /usr/lib/*blas* /lib/*blas*
/usr/lib/*blas*: No such file or directory
/lib/*blas*: No such file or directory
I've never had this problem building on 32-bit SPARC, or 64-bit OpenSolaris x64.
I only see it on 64-bit Solaris 10 SPARC. Perhaps the behavior is undefined if
the dependency is missing, and it just happens by luck to work on the other
systems. Either that, or I've mis-understood it.
