             Summary: Install OpenBLAS without gfortran
                 Key: SINGA-76
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SINGA-76
             Project: Singa
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: wangwei


SINGA uses on OpenBLAS for BLAS operations.
The installation of OpenBLAS provided by the *thirdparty/install.sh* script 
required gfortan which would make some troubles for users.
Thanks to Alan Gate for reporting this issue.

The solutions include
* change install.sh to compile OpenBLAS with make ONLY_CBLAS=1. Thanks to 
ZhangHao for providing this solution.

* install OpenBLAS using apt-get install or yum install

* make OpenBLAS as an option dependent libraries. Since there are many BLAS 
implementation, we are developing a set of math interfaces such that users can 
choose the underlying implementation (e.g., OpenBLAS or MKL). This feature will 
be added in the next release.

The pull request is mixed with SINGA-70
