It is becoming more and more common to encounter very large sparse matrices whose dimensions can exceed the maximum value fitting in a 32-bit integer. For this reason, some projects have switched to an ILP64 BLAS. OpenBLAS in Fedora has shipped it for some time (Bug 1088256), and has just started shipping an alternative ILP64 version with all symbols suffixed with "64_" in order to allow a process to also load libraries built against an LP64 BLAS without conflicts (Bug 1287541). As I've just switched my Julia package to the ILP64 OpenBLAS, I'd like to be able to use a SuiteSparse version based on ILP64 OpenBLAS too. Would you be willing to create an alternative version of SuiteSparse packages for that? The "-DSUN64" flag already exists in SuiteSparse to make use of the "64_" suffixes.
Also, would it possible to build suitesparse without being directly linked to a BLAS library so a downstream user could choose?
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
Bump! Any chance you would accept such a change? Should I provide a patch?
Hello, I'm not directly assign to this BZ, but I think requests in comment 0 and comment 1 are reasonable, and makes sense. (In reply to Milan Bouchet-Valat from comment #3) > Should I provide a patch? I think this will not hurt anything. It might speed up things actually.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle. Changing version to '29'.
I've finally made a pull request fixing this: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/suitesparse/pull-request/2
I'm working on an updated version based on a 5.4.0 update, hopefully more to come soon.
Milan - can you try out the package in https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/orion/suitesparse and see if that works for you?
