Please send me your config.log. It looks like you may have specified '--with-g77' and it detected 'gfortran'. Try using '--with-gfortran' instead? > I see that this is related to Brad's and Markus' changes of today. Does > this mean that the fortran compiler in mingw is not sufficient ?

Fortran is required for certain versions of BLAS/LAPACK. There are other equivalents that may be more forgiving like ATLAS, PhiPACK, CBLAS/CLAPACK. My changes were meant to expand BLAS/LAPACK detection. It should detect traditional BLAS/LAPACK, CBLAS/CLAPACK, ATLAS, PhiPACK, and Apple's compatible vector library. Parts of lib/gmath and modules may eventually rely on some form of BLAS/LAPACK being installed. This is an effort to consolidate linear algebra code spread throughout GRASS, remove Numerical Recipies code, provide a better API, and deliver performance enhancements. Code not requiring BLAS/LAPACK is also being investigated, but may not support all functions. -- Brad Douglas <rez touchofmadness com> KB8UYR/6 Address: 37.493,-121.924 / WGS84 National Map Corps #TNMC-3785 _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://grass.itc.it/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
