Greetings! The good news is that in days, we should have some optimized atlas blas libraries for a variety of recent processors. The challenge is how to adapt the package -- when built on an Athlon, PIII, and PII, the resulting binaries will run only on those subarchitectures, (and much faster!) I suppose all binaries could be included in the package, and only the appropriate one installed, but how does this jive with the automatic build daemons? Such a package would have to be partially built on several different machines. On the other hand, I could have several different packages, each of which would build only on a given subarch, and would produce a distinct package name. That might not work so well with automated build daemons either.
Any suggestions most appreciated. Take care, -- Camm Maguire [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========================================================================== "The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." -- Baha'u'llah
