First question:
The Mac OS comes with Accelerate.Framework and that contains BLAS. But probably I still should compile those libraries, right?
No, it's better to link to accelerated library. I don't have a Mac handy here to verify how to link to it though. I'll be able to check latter in the evening

Hi Yoshiki,
Thanks for inquiring about Smallapack.
This problem has been solved in 2011 as the post tells. Moreover, it was about alignment of squeak objects that was on multiple
of 4
on SqueakV3 memory. Spur is 8 byte aligned, so the problem would have also vanished without
any
patch for those being patient :)
For the 15 arguments limit, Smallapack comes with it's own compiler, so
it's
a non issue. Maybe I should make the documentation more clear on
https://github.com/nicolas-cellier-aka-nice/smallapack/wiki/SmallapackSqueak
?
Unfortunately, there's no Sparse Matrix representation in Lapack. If you know of a good package for that, it could be integrated.
If you have other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
cheers
Nicolas

I am trying to do a bit of linear algebra stuff that involves to solve a sparse 2D matrix (for a variation of doing least square fit).
There was a message from Nicolas:
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2011-August/161113.ht...
Is this where it stands today, too? It looks like that arg count problem is still there in 5.0, but is it in a way non-issue as it is still FFI based?
Thanks!
