Thanks everyone for replying. The liblapack-devel was definitely key and worked perfectly! Yay lapack!
-Tim P.S. I will remember that naming tidbit in the future, David.

This provides /usr/lib/liblapack.dll.a and /usr/lib/libblas.dll.a, which are required to link applications that use the dynamic libraries cyglapack.dll and cygblas.dll. It also provides /usr/lib/liblapack.a and /usr/lib/libblas.a, which are used if you link statically. You need to link the BLAS routines by adding -lblas AFTER -llapack gfortran mytest.f90 -o mytest -llapack -lblas David PS: Bad practice to name a binary "test" on cygwin or any unix system, as there is a utility and also a bash builtin function with this name. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
