Hi all,  
I am trying to use the linalg library  
([http://rubyforge.org/projects/linalg/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/linalg/)) on my OSx machine. The install  
file for linalg says that it is dependent on LAPACK. Does anyone have  
any experience setting up linalg on OSx? I was wondering if I could use  
the vecLib framework that ships with OS x or if I need to install LAPACK  
via ATLAS or some other way. If I can use vecLib how would I go about  
doing that? If any one has installed linalg on OSx before any pointers  
would be helpful. Thanks!
