To better address the needs of our LAPACK users, we're in the process of creating this RELEASE_NOTES webpage. Users will be able to download updates/patches to LAPACK in a variety of ways (Unix patch, tar-gzip file), and will no longer need to wait for an update/release, or make the changes by-hand.

LAPACK has been tested on a variety of architectures. However, keep in mind that we do not have access to every possible type of machine, and the regrettable bug report will appear. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our users, and strongly encourage users to contact us if you suspect an abnormality. Please contribute "machine-specific installation hints" for architectures that we do not have listed. These "hints" are of great benefit to many users.
LAPACK test suite failure when linking with ATLAS: The LAPACK test suite assumes that diagonal elements are not inverted, and then tests only the 'Left' case of xTRSM, since the 'Right' case of the reference implementation of xTRSM inverts the diagonal elements. In the implementation of xTRSM in ATLAS, inversion is used for both cases. Thus, the LAPACK test suite (./xlintsts < stest.in ) will fail when linking with ATLAS. The LAPACK test suite needs to be modified to allow for the inversion of diagonal elements, as ATLAS's implementation of xTRSM is valid.
