Re: Octave can't find BLAS or LAPACK

[Dmitri A. Sergatskov]

Please reply to the list.

You need to provide flags for C, C++, and Fortran compilers. 

For gcc/clang the flag is "-m32"

Try some kind of "Hello world" program first to make sure you got them right.

I tried passing CFLAG=“-mcpu=i686” 

I also tried CFLAG=“-march =i686”

But I still got the same BLAS and LAPACK error.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am attempting to build a recent version of octave as a 32--bit i686 package for RHEL 7. I have installed the BLAS and LAPACK packages but ./configure does not detect the libraries. I have the 32 bit packages including the -devel packages installed as seen below:

I have also tried passing the library paths in ./configure option as:

./configure  --prefix=/home/jferreira/builds/octaveCompile --with-blas=/usr/lib/libblas.so --with-lapack=/usr/lib/liblapack.so

I still get: configure: error: BLAS and LAPACK libraries are required.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you tell your compiler to build i686 binary?

 

Thank you,
