Sorry, I wasn't aware of this fact.

Pearu,

I have set the environment variables according to your last e-mail.

/home/nwagner> echo $BLAS_SRC
/home/nwagner/src/blas
/home/nwagner> echo $LAPACK_SRC
/home/nwagner/src/lapack
/home/nwagner> echo $ATLAS
None

However, the libraries libblas.a and liblapack.a already available in /usr/lib are used instead of FORTRAN BLAS/LAPACK. How can I circumvent this ?
