Installing Scalapack on Fedora Core 9 through Yum

[gchen98]

Hello,

I've been having a lot of trouble trying to get SCALAPACK to install properly on my Linux 64 bit installation.

Running 'yum install scalapack.x86_64', the following dependencies get installed:

I tried testing a simple BLAS level 1 test called /usr/bin/xspblas1tst
and got:

[garyc@usc scalapack_installer_0.92]$ /usr/bin/xspblas1tst
/usr/bin/xspblas1tst: error while loading shared libraries: liblamf77mpi.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I thought it was odd that LAM shared library was not in the search path, so I added an entry into /etc/ld.so.conf as:

/usr/lib64/lam

and ran ldconfig

Now when I ran the BLAS 1 test I got:

[garyc@usc scalapack_installer_0.92]$ /usr/bin/xspblas1tst
/usr/bin/xspblas1tst: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/lam/liblamf77mpi.so.0: undefined symbol: lam_F_status_ignore

Do you know what could be the problem? Is the version of the LAM library not correct?

I tried the hard way by trying to compile each of the components, but that opened up a whole new can of worms.

Thanks!

Gary
