@c The BLAS library used by @R{} depends on the way @R{} was compiled (see
@c `R Installation and Administration' manual for details). Current @R{}
@c binaries supplied from @CRAN{} provide both vecLib-based BLAS and
@c reference BLAS shipped with @R{}. vecLib is a part of Apple's Accelerate
@c framework which provides an optimized BLAS implementation for Mac
@c hardware. Although fast, it is not under our control and may possibly
@c deliver inaccurate results.

@c The @CRAN{} binary uses @code{--enable-BLAS-shlib} option and two Rblas
@c shared libraries are supplied: @file{libRblas.vecLib.dylib} which uses
@c vecLib BLAS and @file{libRblas.0.dylib} which uses reference BLAS from
@c @R{}. A symbolic link @file{libRblas.dylib} determines which one is
@c used. Currently the default is to use the @R{} BLAS: this is recommended
@c for precision.

@c In order to change which BLAS is used, change the @file{libRblas.dylib}
@c symlink correspondingly -- for example in Terminal:
@c @example
@c cd /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/lib

@c ln -sf libRblas.vecLib.dylib libRblas.dylib

@c compiled @R{} from sources will only have one of the above BLAS
@c libraries, corresponding to the configuration options used.
