Comment 8 François Bissey 2017-11-21 19:57:28 UTC
Could you provide config.log? I am fairly sure what kind of problem that is but config.log from arpack would be a nice addition for the diagnostics.

pls look at the attached  logs.tbz2
Comment 10 François Bissey 2017-11-21 20:44:31 UTC
Thanks, I hadn't worked that out. And the problem seems to be of a kind I didn't expect:

It looks like blas-reference has been compiled with a different version of gfortran. gfortran from gcc-7.2 produce libgfortran.so.4 but libblas has been compiled with .so.3.
Rebuilding blas-reference (and lapack-reference afterwards) should solve the issue. Your emerge history confirms that gcc-7.2 was emerged after blas-reference. There is actually quite a number of things that would be affected.
Comment 11 Silvio 2017-12-06 07:54:59 UTC
emerge -1 blas-reference
emerge -1 arpack
solves this problema but than another problem appears:

checking for cheev_ in -llapack -lblas... no
checking for cheev_... no
checking for cheev_ in -llapack... no
checking for cheev_ in -llapack_rs6k... no
configure: error: cannot find LAPACK libraries

I re-emerging lapack-reference. I'll update you if it is the last problem.

I have to point out that I'm doing:

emerge -e world

and the problem appears. I think the sequence of the emerge should be more accurate: before the needed packages and than the 

arpack

shouoldn't it?
Comment 12 François Bissey 2017-12-06 07:58:04 UTC
It should have been
emerge -1v blas-reference
emerge -1v lapack-reference
emerge -1v arpack

I am not surprised at the result.

about this?
Comment 14 Michael Hofmann 2018-02-18 00:35:10 UTC
I had the same problem with arpack-3.1.5 (stable).

I switched from GCC 6.4.0 to GCC 7.3.0 and started 
'emerge -e world'.

Emerge couldn't compile arpack and stopped with the
error message shown in the first comment.

After I executed the statements shown in comment 12,
arpack was installed and I could continue with
emerge --resume --skipfirst.

Thanks to everyone who posted in this thread. The 
fix shown in comment 12 saved me a couple of hours :-)

Seems to be a duplicate of bug #649892

Comment 17 Benda Xu gentoo-dev 2019-08-08 01:35:10 UTC
Need stabilization of the new BLAS/LAPACK framework soon.
Comment 18 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2020-05-18 18:57:10 UTC
So?
Comment 19 Marek Bartosiewicz 2020-05-31 05:11:49 UTC
There is gcc10 patch here https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=957007
Comment 20 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2020-11-05 23:21:10 UTC
Whatever this bug is, I can't reproduce it with GCC-10.
Comment 21 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-10-25 06:22:15 UTC
All blocker bugs finally closed.
