Note that switching to openblas-openmp (libopenblaso.so) should be thread-safe and will probably get you a better performance than Atlas. Also, Fedora packages blis (which provides /lib64/blisblas/libblas.so.3). It seems to be thread-safe should be more performant than Atlas too. -- I?aki ?car

...erstand what the difference was (I'm still not clear what the differences are between say openblas-openmp and openblas-openmp64), but I did get R to pass mgcv's thread safe test with both openblas-openmp and blis-openmp, so I have aliased those options for use too. Just using blis ( /lib64/blisblas/libblas.so.3 ) was generating a segfault when running the mgcv test. Really appreciate the help!

Of course, even a simpler trick is to launch R as follows: LD_PRELOAD=/lib64/atlas/libsatlas.so.3 R and then the symbols in libsatlas take precedence over libopenblas. Or a mix between both alternatives, i.e., setting LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/some/link R and then change that link to point to openblas, atlas... Whatever suits you best.
