Hi all,

The octave configure script fails to detect the ATLAS blas lib on a 64 
bit Solaris machine.
The scripts reports:
...

checking for sgemm_ in 
/ifi/einmyria/p02/fl/sun64/usr/local/lib/atlas.so... no
checking for sgemm_... no
checking for ATL_xerbla in -latlas... no
checking for sgemm_ in -framework vecLib... no
checking for sgemm_ in -lblas... no
checking for sgemm_ in -lcxml... no
checking for sgemm_ in -ldxml... no
checking for sgemm_ in -lscs... no
checking for sgemm_ in -lcomplib.sgimath... no
checking for sgemm_ in -lblas... (cached) no
checking for sgemm_ in -lblas... (cached) no
checking for cheev_ in 
/ifi/einmyria/p02/fl/sun64/usr/local/lib/liblapack_SOLARIS_64.so... noblas
...

eventhough

nm /ifi/einmyria/p02/fl/sun64/usr/local/lib/atlas.so | grep sgemm_

gives

00743bc4 T atl_f77wrap_sgemm_
007429a0 T sgemm_

so the symbol is in the lib. Likewise,

nm /ifi/einmyria/p02/fl/sun64/usr/local/lib/liblapack_SOLARIS_64.so | 
grep cheev_

gives

00090ff0 T cheev_

Anyone got an idea why ./configure fails?

Regards

Fredrik
