problem after installation

Hi,
I am new to LAPACK and I want to use that as a part of my research work I am developing a numerical code using FORTRAN in windows environment, I want to use LAPACK subroutines to compute Eigen values.
I have installed the LAPACK windows version, I downloaded the file from http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-windows/. But when I watched the demo I found that I could do only NAG examples and Testing but I couldn't find three options "Timing and two VS Solution -------.vfproj". I have Microsoft Visual studio and Compaq Visual Fortran 6 installed in my computer. (Is Intel Visual Fortran a must requirement??)
I went through the LAPACK User's guide by Anderson et.al (1995) and found nothing related to this.
Some one please help me in this regard.
Is there any book for beginners other than User's guide, which discusses about how to use LAPACK to solve eigen value problems. Any information regarding this will be of great help.
Thank you

Navin

Navin,
The Visual Studio Solution for LAPACK requires Intel Visual Fortran, we do not plan to support Compaq Visual Fortran. I do not know how compatible are Compaq Visual Fortran and Intel Visual Fortran....You may want to take a look here to get additional info: http://h21007.www2.hp.com/portal/site/d ... 5d6e10RCRD

Do you manage to open the VS Project and compile it?

The timing are no more included in LAPACK, the timer GUI has not been released yet.

You can find some info on LAPACK routine in the LAPACK User Guide. http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lug/node70.html for Eigenvalue Problem.
Another way is to search the forum, it contains a lots of code from user.

Hope it helps
Julie

tahnsk for the reply

No, I couldn't compile the VS project (I didn't see that option as shown in the demo movie), I could only do the test problems and NAG examples.
As you said the problem might be with the Compaq Visual Fortran I am using. I will try it with Intel Visual Fortran.

Thank you
