[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #57110] `version -blas` reports "unknown or reference BLAS"

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #57110 (project octave):

Ok, I agree, that is a side effect of building Octave with "-lopenblas", but
forcing a different libblas.so at runtime with LD_PRELOAD.

On Debian, the typical way this is managed instead is to build Octave with
"--with-blas=blas", and use the alternatives system to manage symbolic links
to various libblas.so.3 library implementations under directories like
/usr/lib/.../blas, /usr/lib/.../openblas, /usr/lib/.../mkl, etc.

I think many of our developers work on Debian and Ubuntu based systems, so we
are not as familiar with this setup of building against OpenBLAS, but using
LD_PRELOAD to force an additional library to be loaded first.
