[BCP] Installation - problem with Blas

Thu May 10 15:34:41 EDT 2012

I'm following Francois Margot's instructions for installing BCP and
getting started with COIN at
http://wpweb2.tepper.cmu.edu/fmargot/COIN/proj1.pdf.

When I try to follow the instructions In Section 4.1, "Using Lapack
and Blas", I'm not sure what to use as the blas library. In the guide,
the library is libblas.so.3. In /usr/lib, I have libblas.a  libblas.so
 libblas.so.3gf  libblas.so.3gf.0 and I also have these same files in
/usr/lib/libblas, but no libblas.so.3. I've tried each of these in the
config.site file, and with all of them, I get the message "user
supplied BLAS library "/usr/lib/libblas/<fileIPointedTo>" does not
work"

I'm running Linux Mint 12 64-bit, and I used Synaptic to install what
I think are the blas packages I need. I'm attaching the
last_configure.txt that is output when I try to configure.

Thank you,

Luis de la Torre
