Building R-devel with ACML

2 messages · Roger D. Peng, Brian Ripley

#
I'm trying to build R-devel with AMD's ACML.  I downloaded version 3.0.0 
64bit for gfortran (acml-3-0-0-gfortran-64bit.tgz) and copied the 
libraries to /usr/local/lib.  When I configure R to build against the 
ACML library, how do I know if the library has been detected and will be 
used?

I run 'configure' with the '--with-blas=-lacml' flag and am using gcc 
4.0.2 (with gfortran) on FC4.

Thanks,
-roger

Look at the end of the output (will say BLAS(generic)) and at BLAS_LIBS in 
Makeconf.
On my such system with --with-lapack I got

   External libraries:        readline, BLAS(generic), LAPACK(in blas)

BLAS_LIBS = -L/usr/local/acml/gnu64/lib -lacml
