[MINC-users] installation problem with N3 on Linux (red hat 9)

[siamak Ardekani]

Dear All,

I was checking the archive and noticed a message posted by one of the
members describing a problem similar to mine. Basically, I am trying to
install MNI_N3 version 1.07 on a Linux box running red hat 9. I got the
following error while executing the configure:

I have already installed CLAPACK in /usr/local directory. Although, I am
not sure if configure can recognize the library.

I appreciate comments in this regard.

Thanks,
