At present, it provides C and Fortran77 +interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few +routines from LAPACK. + +This requires blas, and it conflicts with cblas (only one of atlas +and cblas may be installed at any given time). Take care with LAPACK +(see notes 3 & 4 in README.SLACKWARE). + +You need to read over README.SLACKWARE *before* building this. |
