How To Install lapack64 on Fedora 34
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install lapack64 on Fedora 34.
What is lapack64
LAPACK (Linear Algebra PACKage) is a standard library for numerical linear algebra. LAPACK provides routines for solving systems of simultaneous linear equations, least-squares solutions of linear systems of equations, eigenvalue problems, and singular value problems. Associated matrix factorizations (LU, Cholesky, QR, SVD, Schur, and generalized Schur) and related computations (i.e., reordering of Schur factorizations and estimating condition numbers) are also included. LAPACK can handle dense and banded matrices, but not general sparse matrices. Similar functionality is provided for real and complex matrices in both single and double precision. LAPACK is coded in Fortran90 and built with gcc. This build has 64bit INTEGER support.
We can use yum or dnf to install lapack64 on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install lapack64.
