Adding /usr/lib64/atlas was insufficient so I created a symlink in ln -s /usr/lib/atlas/libsatlas.so.3 /usr/lib/atlas/libsatlas.so This allowed the build process to complete but leads to an error when running the julia executable.
The error is: /home/jpf/julia/usr/bin/julia: symbol lookup error: /home/jpf/julia/usr/bin/../lib/liblapack.so: undefined symbol: lsame_ Is it a good idea to go with the RHEL ppc64le system lapack instead of having julia build lapack against system blas? I have this version of lapack available from the system. Available Packages Name : lapack Arch : ppc64le Version : 3.4.2 Release : 5.el7 Size : 4.9 M Repo : rhel-7-for-power-le-rpms/7Server/ppc64le Thanks, James On Tuesday, July 19, 2016 at 4:46:22 PM UTC-4, Viral Shah wrote: > > > Yes - I forgot to mention that.
