Hi Dave, shared libraries, nice to have but not strictly necessary. I am backing you up on that one until it is properly fixed. I will look at that ticket but I think sage's BLAS/LAPACK subsytstem needs a big revamp if we are going to use shared libraries by default. Note that until recently ATLAS was tricky to build with shared libraries - and certainly not the way it is currently done in sage. We had a big libtool patch in Gentoo to deal with this. I think most of the patch has been accepted in 3.9.24 so it may be easier to build proper shared objects with 3.9.24+. Building a shared liblapack.so from there is still tricky though.
