Building and installing JAGS locally

I'm trying to build and install JAGS on a cluster that uses GPFS as its filesystem. I'm running into problems with the configure script:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/JAGS/ --with-lapack=/cm/shared/apps/lapack/gcc/64/3.6.0/liblapack.so

Error:

configure: error: "You need to install the LAPACK library"

I'm specifying the location of the dynamic library, but the script doesn't accept that it exists on the system. What is the cause of this?

Solution

  • I figured out the issue. I needed to link to BLAS by using the "--with-blas" flag. The configure script does not have an error message for a missing BLAS link, it instead treats it as a missing reference to the LAPACK library.
