This fixes an issue with the /etc/profile.d/lapack.sh file polluting the name space of environmental variables. More information in the lapack-3.0.README file. Lapack 3.0 is a comprehensive FORTRAN library for linear algebra operations. It includes matrix inversions, least squared solutions to sets of equations, eigenvector analysis, singular value decomposition, etc. It is a very comprehensive and reputable package that has found extensive use in the scientific community. Lapack requires a blas (basic linear algebra system) implementation; the Cygwin binary distribution includes a non-optimized reference blas library. The Cygwin source distribution includes Atlas, allowing a locally optimized blas library to be compiled and installed from source. This greatly improves the computational speed of the Lapack library. See README.optimize in the CYGWIN-PATCHES subdirectory of the source distribution for further information on optimized lapack libraries. Lapack Home Page: http://www.netlib.org/lapack/ Atlas Home Page: http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/ UPDATE ====== To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on the http://cygwin.com/ web page. This downloads setup.exe to your system. Save it and run setup, answer the questions and pick up 'lapack' from the 'Math' category. Then click on the 'skip' field next to 'lapack' until '3.0-5' is displayed. DOWNLOAD: ========= Note that downloads from sources.redhat.com (aka cygwin.com) aren't allowed due to bandwidth limitations. This means that you will need to find a mirror which has this update, please choose the one nearest to you: http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html QUESTIONS: ========== If you want to make a point or ask a question the Cygwin mailing list is the appropriate place.
