On Debian and alike you can just install Atlas (as you have), or OpenBLAS, or the reference BLAS (and there my script and post from a few years ago to use MKL but depending on which release you use may actually be directly accessible), or now also BLIS, or ... In short, we see a bug when using Atlas. I would at least try OpenBLAS. Here is what I see in a Docker container using testing/unstable -- you will see a shorter list but you *will* have the three different openblas versions at a minimum. root@somedocker:~# apt-cache search libblas | grep -- -dev libatlas-base-dev - Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software, generic static libblis-openmp-dev - BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework (dev,32bit,openmp) libblis-pthread-dev - BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework (dev,32bit,pthread) libblis-serial-dev - BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework (dev,32bit,serial) libblis64-openmp-dev - BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework (dev,64bit,openmp) libblis64-pthread-dev - BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework (dev,64bit,pthread) libblis64-serial-dev - BLAS-like Library Instantiation Software Framework (dev,64bit,serial) libblas-dev - Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library libblas64-dev - Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library (64bit-index) libopenblas-openmp-dev - Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (dev, openmp) libopenblas-pthread-dev - Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (dev, pthread) libopenblas-serial-dev - Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (dev, serial) libopenblas64-openmp-dev - Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (dev, 64bit, openmp) libopenblas64-pthread-dev - Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (dev, 64bit, pthread) libopenblas64-serial-dev - Optimized BLAS (linear algebra) library (dev, 64bit, serial) libblasr-dev - tools for aligning PacBio reads to target sequences (development files) root@somedocker:~# Dirk -- https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
