The program (Dalton, which is as free as mpqc is free) requests libacml.a. To avoid overcomplications, I would be happy to have that. Could you suggest the easiest way to get it as requested by configure to compile Dalton for amd64 debian etch? Remember that I have limited skills with these affairs, where I duell sporadically: once the program works, I have little time for playing around (unfortunately). > By the way, since you are apparently > doing heavy linear algebra calculations, you may want to check also the > GOTO library (I don't remember the URL, google for GOTO blas lapack library > and you will find it).
