I used the packages with the -dev ending for the installation.
I also installed from Ubuntu itself. In both cases I get the same error.

Hi, so I'm not sure where it's supposed to be but those are some common locations. It's good that you found the libblas files, so definitely include the enclosing folder in your -L linker flags (in the options.mk file). But as you can see from the error message, the library that's missing is liblapack. So all I can tell you is please look in the standard install locations for the file liblapack.so If it's not in a standard location then it either means the associated package was not installed (or was somehow damaged) or is not a standard installation in some sense.

It worked. I reinstalled Blas and Lapack using the following command:

sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev

Thanks a lot.

Hi, so to install ITensor please follow the steps here:
http://itensor.org/docs.cgi?page=install

It's important to install and have available a BLAS/LAPACK distribution. The recommended and best one is Intel MKL (which is now free for academics) but also Ubuntu offers a distribution (lapack-devel package).

Then there are sample programs in the sample/ folder and a project template you can use to write and compile your own code in tutorial/project_template .

More info here:

Formatting Tips:
  • To format code, indent by four spaces
  • To format inline LaTeX, surround it by @@ on both sides
  • To format LaTeX on its own line, surround it by $$ above and below
  • For LaTeX, it may be necessary to backslash-escape underscore characters to obtain proper formatting. So for example writing \sum\_i to represent a sum over i.
