[R] BLAS and the Sun Performance Library

[David Brahm]

Hi, all,

   We just got the Sun Performance Library for our Suns running Solaris 2.6,
and I read the relevant section of the "R Installation and Administration
Manual" about configuring R to use BLAS.  The manual suggests you must use
Sun's "cc" and "f95" (maybe "f90"?) compilers in order to use the Performance
Library.  We have "cc" but not "f95".

   Would we be better off buying "f95", or compiling our own BLAS using ATLAS
and our usual "gcc"/"g77" Gnu compilers?  Has anyone successfully done the
latter under Solaris 2.6?
