If you look above, you will see I made that same point. There does not
seem to be any logical reason to distribute both static and dynamic
libraries.
However, #5024 shows liblapack.so was causing problems on "non-Linux"
systems - which I assume means both OS X and Solaris, though there's
little information there.
I've certainly seen problems on Solaris with {{{liblapack.so}}}, so on
Solaris at least, liblapack.so can't be built just now.
I think long term, we need to look at updating ATLAS. I expect it should
be able to create shared libraries that work. That said, on Solaris x86 at
least, Mathematica ships with and {{{libatlas.a}}}, {{{libf77blas.a}}},
{{{liblapack.a}}} and {{{libcblas.a}}} rather than shared libraries. Out
of the 111 libraries included in Mathematica, only 6 are static - the
other 105 are shared.
I thought I'd posted a fix to this problem. Adding the link for
{{{liblapack.a}}} works. I'll stick that on #9780.
