Question

Hi guys, hope this is the right section to post this problem. I'm trying to compile (and install) Suitesparse but everytime i obtain this strange error i have never seen before...any idea to solve it?Thanks

I scanned the atlas makefile and I couldn't find a reference to libblas.a, only libf77blas.a and libcblas.a. Are the libs installed to /usr/libs/ or to some subdir? If one of this is the case you might have to edit UFconfig/UFconfig.mk accordingly.
Sorry this problem is so frustrating that i have pasted the wrong error...actually i had a UFconfig/UFconfig.mk edited and that gave me the same problem, I don't have libblas.a on my system but the reason is that this is substitued by libatlas.a!
I paste here the "final" result:

Obviously the "undefined reference" statements are gone but the main problem, the hidden symbol, is always there...and now i'm sure this is the error i hope to solve, the first one (and i apologize for that) was a build with wrong flag...
And when i wrote about a possible gcc version problem was because this line says:
/usr/bin/ld: cholmod_demo: hidden symbol `__powidf2' in /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.3.2/libgcc.a(_powidf2.o) is referenced by DSO
what do you think about it?
p.s. i can compile UMFPACK without problems...the whole Suite on the contrary gives me this
