Re: [gentoo-science] blas/lapack stuff

[Andrey G. Grozin]

Hello *,

I don't understand how the blas stuff (from the science overlay) works. I 
have blas-reference and atlas (and also eigen) installed, atlas eselected. 
But /usr/lib/libblas.so is a file (not symlink) owned by blas-reference. 
So, a program demanding -lblas will be linked to this library from 
blas-reference, right? And what eselect blas then is doing?

This question is related to the new gsl-shell package. Its Makefile just 
says -lblas. It works on my computer (linking to /usr/lib/libblas.so from 
blas-reference, I suppose). But what should I write as the dependency? 
virtual/blas? (docs say that atlas should be OK).

Thanks in advance,
Andrey
