10509 :: ggplot and lapack revisited

• rajmac (orginal) [2023-09-22T12:08:19+02:00] view original

  First thanks to all who replied to my earlier question about lapack and to indaar for his explanation for the need for lapack.dll. Having tried as suggested to install the dll I know have liblapack.dll but still am having problems with using it. Currently when compiling with -d:lapack=liblapack I am still getting "cannot laod lapack.dll" and "(bad format; library may be wrong architecture)". I also notice that there is a warning that the Vega backend does not exist. In a search of the internet I found a comment that it might be possible to use this to circumvent to lapack problem. In this case how do i install/load this feature? In the meantime my linux machine continues to work with ggplotnim perfectly, if slowly due to age, and I'd quite like to try the Vega backend on it. Any advice on the issues welcome.

  Try Windows WSL.

  First of all the Vega message is just a somewhat left over from a time when I wanted to have that be part of ginger and not ggplotnim. It is part of the latter now. Don't worry about it, it is available if you wanted it, but likely you don't (see the README). It is completely irrelevant to your question.

  Unless you really need geom_smooth, which you did not mention, just compile with -d:nolapack and it should run just fine! Then you can just forget about trying to find the correct lapack.dll.
