Build ccx with arpack-ng

1

Greetings.

I am trying to build ccx_2.20 on ubuntu 20.04 on docker. The arpack version suggested in the official install guide () is not available anymore. I am trying to install it with the opencollab version of arpack, arpack-ng but I am receiving an error when I try to build ccx.
This is my Dockerfile

This is the error I receive

Has anyone build ccx with arpack-ng? Please let me know what is wrong in my build.

the version recommended in the official instructions can be recovered from the wayback machine: ARPACK - Arnoldi Package

It seems like it would be a good idea for CCX to migrate to ARPACK-NG, since it is being supported by volunteers and the original was abandoned. Or ditch ARPACK altogether and use something more modern, if possible.

That worked. Thanks!!

On FreeBSD, CalculiX is successfully built with arpack-ng.

In this case, the linker is complaining about a missing function dlaev2_, which is part of lapack.

The Makefile in the src directory should contain the following libraries:

LIBS = \
       -lspooles -larpack -lblas -llapack \
       -lpthread -lm

Or maybe try this:

-lspooles $(shell pkg-config --libs --static arpack) \
