Thank you for your response. I did look in the suggested manual under A.3.1.5 
Shared BLAS.

Here are my steps: compiled R using
--with-readline=yes --enable-R-shlib=yes --enable-BLAS-shlib=yes --with-x=yes 
--prefix=/usr/local/R-2.11.0


Why do you want shlib support, do you really need it?
For the static case, A.3.1.1 ATLAS described the way to go.


Compiled LAPACK first and then ATLAS using 
http://www.scipy.org/Installing_SciPy/Linux#head-89e1f6afaa3314d98a22c79b063cceee2cc6313c
   All the .so files have been copied to /usr/lib64

In /usr/local/R-2.11.0/lib64/R/lib, I renamed the .so files for blas and lapack 
and linked as
libRblas.so ->  /usr/local/lib64/libf77blas.so
libRlapack.so ->  /usr/local/lib64/liblapack.so

R does startup OK but when I do the following:
require(nlme)
fm1<- nlme(height ~ SSasymp(age, Asym, R0, lrc), data = Loblolly, fixed = Asym 
+ R0 + lrc ~ 1, random = Asym ~ 1, start = c(Asym = 103, R0 = -8.5, lrc = -3.3))

I get
/usr/local/R-2.11.0/lib64/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: 
/usr/local/R-2.11.0/lib64/R/lib/libRblas.so: undefined symbol: ATL_dgemm
This runs just fine without using the .so files which were built with R.


I have never before linked dynamically to ATLAS versions. ATL_dgemm is probably defined in one of the other libraries. I have not looked since I currently do not have any ATLAS left on my machines which I was more used to roughly 3 years ago.

Can you please help?  Thanks.

I have built lapack-3.2 and atlas3.8.3 for a RHEL5.3 VM.  The following files have been created -- 
libatlas (.a&   .so), libcblas (.a&   .so), libf77blas (.a&   .so), liblapack (.a&   
.so), libptcblas (.a&   .so), libptf77blas (.a&   .so) and libstatatlas.a.

When building R 2.11.0, I would like to be able to specify --with-blas and 
--with-lapack (and not use the ones which come with R). What is the syntax for 
that? Which of these libraries should I specify?

Thanks.
