Hi. I link LAPACK and BLAS in the following way: With static libs, I use "-L" and "-l" options (read the gcc manual on these). With dynamic libs, I pass their names as is to the linkage command. Suppose your (static) libs are /usr/lib/libclapack.a /usr/lib/libcblas.a /usr/lib/libatlas.a <-- optionally, if you have ATLAS installed. On linking, do: gcc -o my_exe my_obj1.o my_obj2.o -L/usr/lib -lclapack -lcblas -latlas Dynamic libs: /usr/lib/libclapack.so /usr/lib/libcblas.so On linking, do: gcc -o my_exe my_obj1.o my_obj2.o /usr/lib/libclapack.so /usr/lib/libcblas.so Regards, Dima.
