Brian, This is the code I am using to linking with BLAS using MKL or OpenBLAS
#MKL if [ -n "$MKLROOT" ] && [ -d "$MKLROOT" ]; then echo "mkl_dir directory exists!" echo "Great... continue set-up" source ${MKLROOT}/bin/mklvars.sh intel64 DEFINE_BLAS_LIBS_CMAKE="-DBLAS_LIBRARIES='-L${MKLROOT}/lib -Wl,-rpath,${MKLROOT}/lib -lmkl_intel_lp64 -lmkl_sequential -lmkl_core -lpthread -lm -ldl'" #DEFINE_BLAS_LIBS_CMAKE="-DBLAS_LIBRARIES='-L${MKLROOT}/lib\ -Wl,-rpath,${MKLROOT}/lib\ -lmkl_intel_lp64\ -lmkl_sequential\ -lmkl_core\ -lpthread\ -lm\ -ldl'" XFLAG="-DBLA_VENDOR=Intel" else echo "MKL not found, trying to compile and use OpenBLAS" XFLAG="-DBLA_VENDOR=Open" USE_OPENBLAS='true' fi # openblas if [ "true" == "$USE_OPENBLAS" ] then if pkg-config --exists openblas then _LOCATION=`pkg-config --variable=libdir openblas` echo "OpenBLAS FOUND in [$_LOCATION]" else if [ "$BUILD_DEPENDENCIES" == "true" ] then echo "Building OpenBLAS..." cd $TMPDIR wget https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/archive/v0.3.3.tar.gz -O - | tar -zx cd OpenBLAS-0.3.3 $MAKE -j >/dev/null|| $MAKE || { echo 'OpenBLAS installation failed' ; exit 1; } $MAKE install PREFIX=$PREFIX export CPATH=$CPATH:$PREFIX/include else echo "####################" echo "OpenBLAS NOT FOUND" echo "Please download it from: https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases" echo "After installing it, set the proper PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable" echo "" err=1 fi fi fi It works great but when OpenBLAS is using, my application cannot find lapacke library.

It isn't entirely clear what your question is, but shouldn't you just be linking to the BLAS and leave the choice of BLAS to the individual installation? In most cases you should probably not be statically linking to the BLAS. Here is an old paper by Dirk with more information that might help you sort it out. https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/gcbd/vignettes/gcbd.pdf Regards, Brian -- Brian G.
