If I am not mistaken, the guide is written for intel-based cpus, but for sure it could be applicable for others. ESSL is ibm product for ibm-based machines only. in fact, only part of lapack is inlcluded; moreover, some lapack functions are different from ones in netlib distribution.

Well, Sebastian's guide is pretty much all you need. Just an additional remark: check if you really need to install the libs. For instance, your cluster may have the ESSL package installed, which includes the most widely used math libraries, in particular, LAPACK and BLAS. If this is the case, you should use the available optimized libraries. 2006/11/15, Jess Kondor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On 11/15/06, Vasilii Artyukhov < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > RTFM!
