I got lucky, the problem was the program R locating the BLAS library. Once this was fixed, kdeedu-4.4.2 now compiles (with R/blas+lapac) to 100%. For those working on X86_64 machines how to compile R with a usable blas is currently quite tricky (at least this is what I found). There is excellent help here (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-admin.html). As regards BLAS -it seems current versions of atlas( http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-support/2010-April/067147.html) ) do not give shared libs (preferred by R). An alternative is to use amd's acml (http://developer.amd.com/documentation/articles/pages/ACMLwithDifferentGCCG) but it is available only as a binary. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
