Hi, I know this is not a problem comming from R, but maybe you can still help me. I installed R 1.4.1 on Debian Woody, but I can't start it. I get this message: ~$ R /usr/lib/R/bin/R.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libblas.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Any thoughts?

The blas libraries are "virtual". For a short period, the virtual dependency lacked a safe default value. This has been fixed, see for example the current 1.5.1 package http://packages.debian.org/unstable/math/r-base-core.html where the Depends is now on atlas2-base or blas or atlas2-3dnow or atlas2-sse2 or atlas2-sse In you case the atlas2-base [ Atlas, setup for any cpu ] or blas [ non-Atlas blas ] defaults weren't there when 1.4.1 built against it, and you ended up with atlas2-3dnow [ Atlas for Athlon ] purely because it sorts first. Unfortunately, this fails on non-Athlon chips. To rectify, you can install either one of a) atlas2-base for generic Atlas, b) blas for non-optimised blas or c) the matching optimised atlas, i.e. one of atlas2-sse2 or atlas2-sse. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll beg the release manager to correct that for the woody release. Lastly, you can also pick the R 1.5.1 packages from the unstable distro. As I built them on a woody system, these packages do not depend on anything not in woody.

Hello,
Is libblas.so.2 on your system? On my Woody system, I have:
bxf4 at c119756-b:~$ find /usr/lib -iname libblas*
/usr/lib/libblas.so.2
/usr/lib/libblas.so.2.0
/usr/lib/libblas.a
/usr/lib/libblas.so
/usr/lib/libblas2.so
/usr/lib/atlas/libblas.so.2.3
/usr/lib/atlas/libblas.so.2
I would think it would have been brought in as a dependency of R, but
perhaps you installed R in some non-standard way. I have blas version
1.1-9 on my system.
bxf4 at c119756-b:~$ apt-cache policy blas
blas:
Installed: 1.1-9
Candidate: 1.1-9
Version Table:
*** 1.1-9 0
990 http://http.us.debian.org testing/main Packages
990 ftp://ftp.debian.org testing/main Packages
500 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Perhaps you can install blas via apt-get or dselect?
(for example, 'apt-get install blas')
HTH.
