I have redone the steps for the BLAS on my new Linux mint debian but could not make it work. On compiling I get the message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lblas

causing gnatlink to fail.

I have done all previous steps well, checking the directories and making sure that BLAS is there and that the right path is in the .bashrc file. The BLAS files are in /usr/lib/atlas-base/atlas as expected. Lapack has also been installed as well.

What may be causing this error message?

Thanks.
