+ (It comes with its own CBLAS implementation that is e.g. used when
running
+ the GSL test suite during installation; however, the Sage library only
+ uses it as a fall-back, if e.g. ATLAS's CBLAS library is not present.)
== Special Update/Build Instructions ==
- * According to the GSL web page: http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/
- "GSL requires a BLAS library for vector and matrix operations. The
- default CBLAS library supplied with GSL can be replaced by the tuned
- ATLAS library for better performance". Exactly how one would use ATLAS
is
- not clear (there are no obvious options for the 'configure' script),
- but in principle it could be done.
+ * Currently nothing special to be done.
