Description Thomas Spura 2012-07-24 12:13:19 UTC

Description of problem:
blacs requires explicitely lapack on runtime. It's completely fine to build against it, but on runtime, when the atlas libraries are installed and lapack isn't, blacs seems to work fine too.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


Expected results:
No specific requirement of lapack, so any "liblapack.so.3" is picked up automatically.

Additional info:

Building a MPI-parallel version of cp2k seems to work fine without the explicit requires.

Comment 1 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-07-24 14:15:18 UTC

Seems sane. I'll take care of it. Thanks for the report.

Comment 2 Tom "spot" Callaway 2012-07-24 15:35:32 UTC

Hmm, looking at it deeper, I don't think blacs is actually picking up a "liblapack.so.3" dependency automatically. It doesn't seem to need to build against it either. :/

I'm just going to make an update that drops both the BuildRequires and the Requires. Please test and confirm that it still works correctly.

Comment 3 Thomas Spura 2012-07-24 16:33:16 UTC

Got the builds from:
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=343831

But for cp2k there is blas needed, I have no lapack installed.
Basic testing works fine, cp2k builds.

Looks good to me. Thanks.
