Dear Prof Ripley,
1. Ok. I will not use LAPACK from the Accelerate library.
2. Ok. It would be great, when the CRAN team has the time, to update the FAQ.]
Which FAQ? The CRAN team is not responsible for the 'MacOSX FAQ' (nor
any of the others): 'from CRAN' in that doc means 'mirrored by CRAN from
Simon Urbanek'.
3. I need to pass -Wno-implicit-function-declaration to have the compiled R use
the Accelerate BLAS. Without the flag (even without --with-lapack) R compiles
fine but uses the included stock BLAS.
I believe that had already changed (in R-devel and R-patched): your R
was not current. (Please do re-read the R lists' posting guide and
update before posting.)
Best,
Anirban

A few comments:
1) Do you really want to be using an old and buggy LAPACK? For that is what
--with-lapack gives you, and the manual does warn you.
2) With Xcode 12.2 you will not see the .dylibs you are used to seeing: linking
to system resources is done using .tbd files and although the dylibs are there,
they (and much else) are hidden from casual view.
3) The instructions in the manual work for me with macOS 11.0.1 and CLT 12.2,
both on x86_64 and on arm64. And Accelerate is being used, as the check output
is slightly different and I have (without --with-lapack)

Hi,
I am having trouble using vecLib BLAS and LAPACK libraries in R 4.0.3 Patched
(2020-11-20 r79454) on Mac OS 11.0.1 and Xcode 12.2.
For several years, I have been compiling R from source on the same computer.
Most recently, I compiled R from source on Mac OS 10.15.7 and Xcode 11.5. As
given in the R installation and administration manual, I specified the
following configuration options:
1. --with-blas="-framework Accelerate”
2. --with-lapack
As expected, those two configurations options led to R using the vecLib
libraries.
After upgrading from Mac OS 10.15.7 to Mac OS 11.01, I find that my new
compilations of R no longer use vecLib BLAS and LAPACK libraries (sessionInfo
below message). I poked around in
/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Versions/Current/.
I do not see libBLAS.dylib and libLAPACK.dylib.
May I enquire:
a. Should I see libBLAS.dylib and libLAPACK.dylib in the vecLib framework
folder (on Mac OS 11.01 and Xcode 12.2). As I remember it, that is where those
libraries were located in prior versions of Mac OS and Xcode. Is the fact that
they are missing unique to my machine? If so, then they likely were deleted in
the upgrade as they must have been present when I compiled R a few weeks ago.
b. Has anyone compiled R from source on Mac OS 11.0.1 and Xcode 12.2? Does your
R use the vecLib libaries (if that is what you prefer)?
Any help would be very welcome.
Thanks,
Anirban
