I would rather call that file blas-netlib.pc.

It is possible that openblas is installed and the symlink is manually set for netlib, for example. In this case using pkg-config blas-openblas would give the wrong results. > > Finally, I don't understand why you say that your .pc file for OpenBLAS > enables linking to OpenBLAS both generically and explicitly.

Thanks, I withdraw that statement.
