[Lapack] clapack warning: implicit declaration of function ‘f2c_idamax’

[Peng Du]

The f2c_ prefix can be turned off by modifying the following lines in 
make.inc:

# if no wrapping of the blas library is needed, uncomment next line
#CC        = gcc -DNO_BLAS_WRAP

Clearly if you want other routines to call idamax, f2c_idamax won't work 
so you have to turn the prefix wrapping off.

As to the 'implicit declaration' warning, you could try add a 
declaration of the f2c_idamax to the beginning of your code, example can 
be found from INCLUDE/clapack.h:

integer idamax_(integer *n, doublereal *dx, integer *incx);

And if you are using prefix, just change it to

integer f2c_idamax_(integer *n, doublereal *dx, integer *incx);

Let me know if this doesn't work.

Thanks,
Peng
