Package: liblapack-pic (3.7.1-4ubuntu1)

Library of linear algebra routines 3 - static PIC version

LAPACK version 3.X is a comprehensive FORTRAN library that does linear algebra operations including matrix inversions, least squared solutions to linear sets of equations, eigenvector analysis, singular value decomposition, etc. It is a very comprehensive and reputable package that has found extensive use in the scientific community.

Normally one would want to use non-PIC code for static linking. In this case, install liblapack-dev. This package is provided for other packages, such as ATLAS, needing access to PIC versions of the lapack objects in their own build process.
