Can not find Lapack package

Description

Dear Administrator,

I was trying to install the Lapack package using Macports but find it is not an available ports right now. Would you have plan to add this important package to the ports list in near future? Thank you very much.

Lapack as provided by netlib.org, is a reference implementation and not optimized at all. Therefore, it is of limited value for practical uses.

However you have the following options:

  • Mac OS X comes already with optimized Lapack libraries in the Accelerate Framework.
  • Macports provides the ports atlas and openblas, which are optimized.

So, if there is no good reason I missed to provide netlib Lapack, I would propose to close this as invalid.

I am closing this ticket, reopen if you really think that netlib Lapack is what you need.

I am looking at this again because I got a notification. Given, that you removed your comment:3 again, I assume this was not relevant to this ticket and keep all as is.
