[GRASSLIST:2619] Re: compilation with BLAS under OSX

Chris,

That's strange, because there is no libcblas in Mac OS X, so -lcblas 
should not work (doesn't for me - MOSX 10.3.2 + current Dev Tools, 
never did as far back as MOSX 10.1).

Blas IS included in the vecLib framework in OS X, tho (that's probably 
where you found the cblas reference, I think that's how I found the 
vecLib thing).  The way I've always fixed this is to patch configure by 
changing all occurrences of '-lblas' to '-framework vecLib'.  At the 
same time you can change all '-llapack' to '-framework vecLib' to get 
lapack - it's also in the vecLib framework.
