[Wien] Need help - Installation steps for BoltzTraP

[Gavin Abo]

It does sound like a problem with the setting of the environment.  You 
should consult your operating system documentation on how to set the 
environment so that it can find the libblas.so.3gf on your system.  
Usually, that involves setting an environmental variable in .bashrc or 
setting a location in a conf file.  Or another way can be to change the 
compile settings so that they libraries are compiled into the executable 
instead of just linked to them [ 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_build ].

However, if WIEN2k works, I think BoltzTraP should work too.  Have you 
adjusted the compile settings in the BoltzTraP Makefile so that they are 
the same (or similar) to the ones you have used for WIEN2k?

It seems like libblas.so.3gf might be from an operating system (OS) 
package, which might be a little unusual to link to.  As I think usually 
it is not linked against on from OS, but from one that comes with ifort 
or from complied from a source package like OpenBLAS.
