I want to use a software that needs lapack to compile properly. But I'm not able to make lapack work on Mac.

I'm trying to install lapack-3.7.1

I type make and this message arrive:

I've attempted to modify the make.inc but it seems that some instructions that I've seen on internet are not updated. I saw that we have to change the PLAT to PLAT = _DARWIN.

I can't see it in my make.inc file.

Are there some step by step instruction to install lapack?

make.inc file:

I've tried Homebrew, but it's not working:

But even brew install homebrew/science/lapack-manpages is not working...

Newer versions of macOS, including 10.11, ship with an implementation of LAPACK included in vecLib, which is included in macOS. So if your software is vecLib-aware, you may not need to install LAPACK at all.

If you need to install a separate LAPACK, it's now available as a Homebrew formula in Homebrew core. So brew install lapack will work now.

The Homebrew lapack formula currently includes a pre-built binary 'bottle' for OS X 10.11, so the installation should be easy and fast.
