Commit c03f413* (2014-09-21 21:30 UTC) Platform Info: System: Linux (i386-redhat-linux) CPU: Unknown CPU Type WORD_SIZE: 32 BLAS: libopenblas (DYNAMIC_ARCH NO_AFFINITY Athlon) LAPACK: libopenblas LIBM: libopenlibm LLVM: libLLVM-3.3 On Thu, Oct 16, 2014 at 1:37 PM, Tony Kelman <t...@kelman.net> wrote: > For future reference and trivia purposes, Helios could you post the output > from versioninfo() ?
