Hello Brian,

          The following output was when I run .configure with no option.
When I run it with --with-lapack = " *-L/usr/lib -llapack" *option the
following is the output of the "echos" towards the EOF

use_lapack is  unset
with lapack is  *-L/usr/lib -llapack #Only change.
*Use_External_lapack_true  #
Lapack_libs  -L$(R_HOME)/lib$(R_ARCH) -lRlapack* # this is still the same.*

Any possible pointers or cause for the above ?

Regards,
