If the user encounters difficulty in the installation process, we
suggest the following:
<UL>
<LI> Obtain prebuilt ScaLAPACK and BLACS libraries on <EM>netlib</EM>
for a variety of architectures.
<BLOCKQUOTE> <TT>http://www.netlib.org/scalapack/archives/</TT><BR>
<TT>http://www.netlib.org/blacs/archives/</TT>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<LI> Obtain sample <TT>SLmake.inc</TT> files for a variety of architectures
in the <TT>SCALAPACK/INSTALL</TT> directory in the scalapack
distribution tar file. Sample <TT>Bmake.inc</TT> files are
included in the <TT>BLACS/BMAKES</TT> directory in the blacs distribution
file.
<LI> Consult the ScaLAPACK FAQ list on <EM>netlib</EM>.
<LI> Consult the <TT>errata.scalapack</TT> file in the <EM>scalapack</EM> directory
on <EM>netlib</EM>, and/or the <TT>errata.blacs</TT> file
in the <EM>blacs</EM> directory on <EM>netlib</EM>. These files contain
a list of known difficulties that have been diagnosed and corrected (or
will be
corrected in the next release), or reported to the vendor as in the case
of message-passing libraries or optimized
BLAS<A NAME="6235"> </A><A NAME="6236"> </A>.
<LI> Always run the BLACS, BLAS, and PBLAS test suites to ensure that
these libraries have been properly installed. (If PVM is the underlying
message-passing layer, please also run the PVM test suite.) If a problem
is detected in the BLAS or BLACS libraries, try linking to the reference
implementations to be found in the respective <EM>blas</EM> or <EM>blacs</EM>
directory on <EM>netlib</EM>.
<LI> If ScaLAPACK is being tested on a heterogeneous cluster of
computers, please ensure that all executables are linked with the
same debug level of the BLACS. Otherwise,
unpredictable results will occur because the debug level 1 BLACS (specified
by <TT>BLACSDBGLVL=1</TT> in <TT>Bmake.inc</TT>) perform
error-checking and thus send more messages than the performance debug
level 0 BLACS (specified by <TT>BLACSDBGLVL=0</TT> in <TT>Bmake.inc</TT>).
