Re: hmatrix
Hello Adrian, This sounds like a definite bug in Cabal, in that it should report accordingly if it is looking for both static and dynamic versions of the library, and only finds the static one. Can you file a bug report? Thanks, Edward Excerpts from Adrian Victor Crisciu's message of 2014-08-23 23:45:48 +0100: After 3 days of frustrating trials and errors, I managed to install the new hmatrix package on Slackware 13.1. I post this message in case anyone else hits the same problem, as the process requires some alteration of the standard build process of ATLAS, LAPACK, hmatrix and hmatrix-gsl. The following steps assume that LAPACK is built against an optimized ATLAS library. 1.) By default, ATLAS builds only static libraries. However, hmatrix needs shared objects, so ATLAS should be configured with the --share option and, after the build is complete, the commands make shared and/ore make ptshared need to be issued in BUILDDIR/lib 2.) LAPACK also buils by default only static libraries and, for the same reason as above, we need position independent conde in ALL the objects in liblapack. In order to do this we need to 2.1.) Add -fPIC to OPTS, NOOPT and LOADOPT in LAPACKROOT/make.inc 2.2.) Change the BLASLIB macro in the same file to point to the optimized tatlas (os satlas) library 2.3.)

Change the extra-libraries line in hmatrix.cabal to read: extra-libraries: tatlas lapack 4.) Change the extra-library line in hmatrix-gsl to read: extra-libraries: gslcblas gsl Again, this procedure worked for may Slackware 13.1 linux box, but I think it will work on any decent linux machine.

Re: hmatrix-0.16.0.4 installation problem

Re: hmatrix-0.16.0.4 installation problem
What Linux distro? If you're on an unusual distro You might just need to patch the build process to look up the right names. Also have you contacted the hmatrix maintainer to ask him for help.

hmatrix-0.16.0.4 installation problem
Hi, I tried to upgrade from hmatrix 0.15.2.1 to hmatrix-0.16.0.4 and both cabal install and cabal configure complained about missing blas and lapack libraries. However, I do have those libraries installed, and I passed their locations through --extra-include-dirs and --extra-lib-dirs with no results. I use cabal 1.20.0.3, ghc 7.8.2 and gcc 4.4.4 on a Slackware-13.1 64-bit linux box. Any idea of what is going wrong (and how to correct it?)

Re: hmatrix-0.16.0.4 installation problem
Hi, Yes, they are in /usr/local/include. Moreover, /usr/local/lib64 is a symbolic link to /usr/local/lib (as may system is a 64-bit anyway), so the libraries should be found regardless of the path they are searched on. I have atlas-3.3.8 and lapack-3.4.0. Are newer versions required? Thanks!

Re: hmatrix-0.16.0.4 installation problem
You need to pass cabal the extra includes and extra lib dirs flags with the explicit paths to the lib and include folders that have your blas and lapack. The logic in hmatrix can only check stadard paths. On Thursday, August 21, 2014, Adrian Victor Crisciu acris...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, Yes, they are in /usr/local/include.
