Fortran 90 and LAPACK Documentation

Fortran 90 is installed in our system with the LAPACK package. The latter is a collection of routines for linear algebra computations. The LAPACK User's Guide gives an overview of the Package, but a more useful tool enabling you to find the right routines for your computations might be the LAPACK Search Engine.

To compile the Fortran 90 file, "myfile.f90", that uses LAPACK routines and places the executable in "myfile", the following syntax can be used:
> f90 -o myfile myfile.f90 /usr/local/lib/liblapack.a /usr/local/lib/libblas.a

Additional F90 options can be obtained by invoking the man page entry:
>man f90
