shared ATLAS library?
You may want to check out http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-help/2002/7917.html from the R-help archive. It doesn't exactly look "straightforward" but this may point you in the right direction. Can't say I've done it myself. -roger _______________________________ UCLA Department of Statistics rpeng at stat.ucla.edu http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~rpeng

Note that the BLAS library will be used for several add-on packages as well as for R itself. This means that it is better to use a shared BLAS library, as most of a static library will be compiled into the R executable and each BLAS-using package. Is there an idiots guide on how to do this (or should idiots just not try). I've compiled atlas as a static (.a) library and successfully built R (although, when it is static, I don't know how to tell for sure that it is being used). However, their seems to be little indication of how to make a shared (.so) ATLAS library. I've had even less success with blas from netlib. (I compiled .so files and generated a file libblas.so, but there are a lot of unresolved symbols, so R crashes.) Any help would be appreciated. (Linux or Solaris).
