need libblas.so.3gf
« on: October 19, 2012, 09:45:32 PM »
I need to do mathematics.
I don't find libblas.so.3gf on my PCLinuxOS distribution (version 2012-2).
Even on the web, it is very difficult to find.
Please help !

AtomeKid,     
libblas.so.3gf is not an app. It is a library. You need to find out what app provides this library in order to request the package (app).

libblas in the repository provides  libblas.so.1.1

I have no idea what should provide  libblas.so.3gf

EDIT:
          This would appear to be relevant

This is a remnant of the gfotran transition. During the transition, a
.3gf was added to libraries and package names for allowing a
distinction between the g77 generated libraries and gfortran generated
ones.

>From your perspective, the fact that the file names have a 3gf should
not affect functionality at all. If it does, please let me know.

For more information on the gfortran transition which happened ~ 3
years ago, see http://wiki.debian.org/GfortranTransition

@AtomeKid
                        Have you installed  libblas  from the repository?

It might help to know what is needing libblas.so.3gf. With such a sparsity of information, it is hard to even guess.
