BLAS/LAPACK 3.5.0 Install on Mac OS X 10.6.8 by dvc2509 » Tue Jul 22, 2014 8:28 am Hi, I'm brand new when it comes to BLAS and LAPACK and could use some help. And you will enjoy all the latest LAPACK features if you are using the Reference LAPACK. To do so edit your make.inc and for BLASLIB put BLASLIB= -framework accelerate You will just need to do make after that, and all the LAPACK testing will be linked with the Mac OS/X Accelerate Framework. On Ubuntu, such libraries can be made available by installing liblapack-dev. Other Linux distributions typically also offer a way to install Blas and Lapack via its package manager. On Mac OS X, Ipopt's build system should pick up the Blas and Lapack from the Accelerate framework. 17 thoughts on “ HowTo: Install LAPACK and BLAS on Mac OS ” Niclas Berlin on August 15, 2013 at 6:35 pm said: The command “ar rv libblas.a.” does not work for me. It is assumed that you are on a Unix-like machine (e.g Linux or Mac OS X). For some flavors of Unix it is easy to download and install some of the required packages using apt-get (see Software available through apt-get ), or your system’s package manager.

Today, I’ve installed two popular packages:

• LAPACK, see http://www.netlib.org/lapack/
• BLAS, see http://www.netlib.org/blas/

Both packages are required when you deal with linear algebra operations, e.g. solving linear equation systems. Originally, both packages were written in FORTRAN, but I want to use them coding in C++. The solution is to create a libraray! Special warfare download free. There’re a few steps to consider while installing the packages. First, you have to install BLAS, because LAPACK requires it. If you have downloaded both packages, unzip them. Switch to the BLAS folder and execute

to compile all fortran files. After that, execute

to rename the created library. Now, you created a library called “libblas.a”. You just copy that file to your library folder. Therefore execute the following command

Et voila. You’ve installed the BLAS package. Now switch to the LAPACK folder and adjust the file “make.inc”. If you set all parameter correctly, execute the command

Now, you created a library e.g. called “lapack_MACOS.a”. Copy that file to your library folder by executing
