A while back I posted to this group that I was having difficulty compiling packages that used BLAS and Lapack on an Ubuntu 32-bit system. I looked a little further into the issue and discovered that the /usr/lib/R/etc/Makeconf files are different on the 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu packages
maverick/r-base-core_2.12.1-1maverick0_i386.deb and the corresponding 64-bit version. The Make variable BLAS_LIBS is defined as -lblas on the 64-bit system $ egrep BLAS /etc/R/Makeconf BLAS_LIBS = -lblas but on the 32-bit system it is defined as -lf77blas -latlas _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
