Doug, Thanks for finding that. Checking with some other builds (Debian. mainly), it appears that the amd64 version is correct with: BLAS_LIBS = -lblas Due to the loss of a server, we are in a temporary holding pattern in terms of updating the Ubuntu packages on CRAN. That should be corrected soon. However, if you are interested in getting a i386 version without "-lf77blas -latlas", you can use my Launchpad PPA: https://launchpad.net/~marutter/+archive/rrutter Michael _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Debian mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-debian
