OTHER SOFTWARE CREDITS
We originally included a modified implementation of some of the
Sparker (serial sparse BLAS) material; this has been completely
rewritten, way beyond the intention(s) and responsibilities of the
original developers.

4. If you have the AMD package of Davis, Duff and Amestoy, you can
specify --with-amd (see ./configure --help for more details).
The configure script will generate a Make.inc file suitable for
building the library.
The script is capable of recognizing the needed libraries with their
default names; if they are in unusual places consider adding the paths
with --with-libs, or explicitly specifying the names in --with-blas, etc.
Please note that a common way for the configure script to fail is to
specify inconsistent MPI vs. plain compilers, either directly or
indirectly via environment variables; e.g. specifying the Intel
compiler with FC=ifort while at the same time having an MPIFC=mpif90
which points to GNU Fortran.
The best way to avoid this situation is (in our opinion) to use the
environment modules package (see http://modules.sourceforge.net/), and

SERIAL
Configuring with --enable-serial will provide a fake MPI stub library
that enables running in pure serial mode; no MPI installation is
needed in this case (but note that the fake MPI stubs are only
guaranteed to cover what we use internally, it's not a complete
replacement).
