Bug 197127 – sci-libs/cblas-reference-20030223-r4 build failure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Stefano 2007-10-26 12:48:49 UTC]

Building fails with:

checking for BLAS... configure: error: Package requirements (blas) were not met:

No package 'blas' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BLAS_CFLAGS
and BLAS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Re-emerge blas-reference and try again. If that doesn't help, attach the config.log as the message told you.

I am having the same trouble.  Attached is my log.  Thanks.

You need to reopen the bug after providing the requested info, or noone will ever notice again...

Thanks for reopening.  

Note: when I emerged blas-reference as suggested, it was marked as N (New) instead of R (Re-merge)

[Comment 7 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2007-10-31 12:52:25 UTC]

Could you please post which blas implementation(s) you
have installed as well as the output of "eselect blas list".

Thanks,
Markus

Your blas-atlas is too old! You could either
upgrade to blas-atlas-3.8.0 which provides
virtual/cblas, hence you don't actually need
to install cblas-reference in this case. Otherwise,
just emerge blas-reference and use eselect blas
to switch to this implementation. Then cblas-reference
should emerge fine.

"Too old"? It is the x86 stable version, the other packages are stable versions as well, so I'd say it's a problem in the tree, if a x86 package depends on a ~x86 package. Wouldn't you agree?

Yes I would ;)

We are currently in the process of upgrading to a new virtual and
pkg-config infrastructure for all blas/lapack/cblas ebuilds. This meant
that many packages needed to be stabilized on many arches which
takes (and is still taking) a lot of time. Unfortunately, 
blas-atlas/lapack-atlas is somewhat behind since it is such a 
complex package. Sorry for inconvenience. 
In any case, blas-atlas-3.8.0 will become the new
stable in a few weeks if all goes well and should be much better 
on all accounts than 3.7.11. So feel free to give it a try 
or simply emerge blas-reference.

cheers,
Markus

I did 
eselect blas set reference 
after emerging blas-reference and it worked.

Thanks

I did and I confirm that either solution solves the problem ;)

Thanks
