Bug#613094: libatlas: Error in cblas_dgemm in ATLAS 3.8.3 in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD 32 bits

[José Luis García Pallero]

Hello,

For me both linking commands

gcc b.c -Wall -O2 /usr/lib/atlas-base/libcblas.a /usr/lib/atlas-base/libatlas.a
gcc b.c -Wall -O2 -lcblas

causes the "Illegal instruction" abort in the execution.

I have installed the packages libatlas3gf-base, libatlas-dev and
libatlas-base-dev.

My machine is a centrino laptop (first generation) with 1 GB of RAM.

cat /proc/cpuinfo says:

processor       : 0
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 6
model           : 7
model name      : Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1300MHz

bogomips        : 1294.75

I found the original error compiling the latest version of GNU Octave
and in the version of Octave in Debian GNU/kFreeBSD repos too. I
reported the bug for the Octave package and Thomas Weber suspect a
problem with ATLAS an the architecture. Here is his response:
