Greetings, and thanks for your reply!
I guess I'm just a bit unfamiliar with how this is done in the lisp
world. Does one just make a loadable object, which in turn on
initialization calls dlopen on the blas library? I suppose this is
exactly what the tkl object does on further thought.
But if this is the case, wouldn't it be better just to write a standard
lisp interface into dlopen instead of specializing for *every* foreign
library one would like to use? In general, it seems much more
difficult to use third party code/libraries in the lisp world.
Any advice appreciated! (Am aware of the existing blas project with
Clisp -- perhaps I should investigate further there when time
permits.)
Take care,
