error:could not find required blas library

[asen]

Although I have already installed the ifc8.1 (which contains g77 compiler as well) in our Itanium workstation,but still a problem persists in compiling a particular code. The reason might be somewhere else, which I am not yet able to find out.

configure: error: could not find required blas library

Even I tried with ./configure --with-blas='/usr/lib' --with-lapack='/usr/lib', but again the same error comes.
Please assist me in sorting it out.

It would help a lot to know what your link line looks like. Absent that you should either have in your makefile or in your environment the path for the MKL library. That path should look something like this: -L/opt/intel/mkl72/lib/64. Then either you script or your makefile should have -lmkl_ipf -lguide -lpthread. Bruce
