Description of problem: The package info for atlas-sse3-devel says: "This package contains shared and static versions of the ATLAS..." but the static libraries are not present. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): atlas-sse3-devel-3.8.4-8.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: try to compile a program with: gcc -static -L /usr/lib64/atlas-sse3/ hello.c -l atlas Actual results: an error messsage from the compiler: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -latlas collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Expected results: successful compilation of the program Additional info: Actually, list of the package contents doesn't show any ".a" file. Compilation of the same program without the "-static" flag is successful.
This is a mistake in description. Other -devel subpackages do not mention static libraries. Are you really sure you want a pre-packaged static library? The basic idea of Atlas is to tune it for a specific machine. Its performance on a different machine will drop drastically. If you bother to use Atlas and not any other Blas/Lapack implementation, you probably need that performance. Therefore you need to recompile the library on your own machine. This also applies to any application statically linked with Atlas (hopefully there is no such application in Fedora). Static Atlas will reappear in Fedora 21 due to unceasing demand. Description in Fedora 18 updated.
