All,

 

Many users have expressed interest in being able to = skip BLAS and LAPACK library checks.  We recently introduced a new = option

 

–disable-libcheck

 

that does just that when used along with the existing = –disable-tests and –disable-examples options.  **This option does not remove = the need to have a valid BLAS and LAPACK library for linking to Trilinos = package libraries.**

 

Users who use this option and later have linking = problems should go back and remove the option to make sure that the BLAS and = LAPACK libraries that they are using are compatible.  Those users who are = not interested in tests and examples and have built Trilinos in the past can potentially save time by using this new option.  Those who build = Trilinos as part of an automated build process might also wish to take advantage = of this option because it can reduce the number of necessary machine-specific = options that have to be passed to configure.

 

The option is available in the current 4.0 release = tarball (it was not included in the early 4.0 release tarballs) as well as in = the development branch.

 

Please direct any questions or comments about the new = option to trilinos-help@software.= sandia.gov.

 

Thanks

 

Jim
