LAPACK 3.8.0 installation [znep.out] Error 139

Question

I'm trying to install LAPACK 3.8.0 on fedora 20 to be able to use it for MESA code. I faced the below TESTING error:

make[2]: Leaving directory /home/aunia/bin/lapack-3.8.0/TESTING/EIG' NEP: Testing Nonsymmetric Eigenvalue Problem routines ./EIG/xeigtstz < nep.in > znep.out 2>&1 /bin/sh: line 1: 16436 Segmentation fault (core dumped) ./EIG/xeigtstz < nep.in > znep.out 2>&1 make[1]: *** [znep.out] Error 139 make[1]: Leaving directory/home/aunia/bin/lapack-3.8.0/TESTING' make: *** [lapack_testing] Error 2

I tried to update my gcc-fortran package but it didn't solve the problem. Can anybody help?

Answer 1

This is reference lapack. Is there a reason, why you would want to install the reference?

yum install lapack-devel 

should do it for you. The only reason, you would want to build lapack yourself would be an optimised version for you specific machine/cpu. In which case I would recommend to not chose the reference but OpenBLAS or Atlas.
