Hi all,

I am trying to configure a program in KDevelop 4.3 which makes use of the BLAS package. However, KDevelop is apparently not able to find some required BLAS API package. I get following output when I try to configure the project:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Any help would be welcome. I have found a post about a similar error elsewhere, and it was fixed by adjusting a line in FindBLAS.cmake (it had also to do with pthread). However, I don't have write access to the folder where FindBLAS.cmake is situated. Another program that I have written works fine using almost an identical CMakeLists.txt file (only the project name differs), so probably my error is unrelated to the content of FindBLAS.cmake. The CMakeLists.txt file looks as follows:

This CMakeLists.txt file was written by another person working on a similar subject before me and, as I told before, has worked fine until now. I am quite new to programming, so all this is quite difficult to grasp for me. Has anybody an idea? If more info is required, please ask.

Thanks in advance,
Giorgos

Solved it, apparently the two codes were not using the same FindBLAS.cmake file...
