Problem installing plasma on AIX

[gradvohl]

Dear fellows,

I had a problem when installing plasma on an AIX platform with Power7, and xlc and xlf compilers. I used the following line:

./setup.py --cc xlc --fc xlf --nbcores=8 --notesting

However, when the lapacke library is compiled,the following error occurs:

LAPCWRAPPER: provided LAPACK C interface cannot be used! aborting...
error is:
****************************************
xlf -o tmpc tmpc.o -I/home/gradvohl/plasma-installer_2.4.1/install/include -L/home/gradvohl/plasma-installer_2.4.1/install/lib -llapacke -lm
ld: 0711-317 ERROR: Undefined symbol: .dlamch_
ld: 0711-345 Use the -bloadmap or -bnoquiet option to obtain more information.
****************************************

Does anyone could help me?

Thank you in advance.

AIX can be somewhat peculiar with regards to the way it does memory management. You can have a server with many multiples of gigabytes of RAM free, but still get out of memory or address space errors when running applications.
