jblas on Arch Linux

I want to calculate the matrix even in Arch Linux! With Clojure (Java)!

procedure

1. Create an arch linux environment (latest java environment (openjdk), install Ruby as well) (https://qiita.com/elect/items/328c28c310b385de7d23)

2. Next, download the jblas jar file. (From Getting Started-> Download the jar from the downloads page)

3. Try java -server -jar jblas-1.4.2.jar normally.

4. An error like this is returned

    java -jar jblas-1.2.4.jar 
    -- org.jblas INFO jblas version is 1.2.4
    Simple benchmark for jblas
    Running sanity benchmarks.

    checking vector addition... ok
    -- org.jblas CONFIG BLAS native library not found in path. Copying native library from the archive. Consider installing the library somewhere in the path (for Windows: PATH, for Linux: LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
    -- org.jblas CONFIG ArchFlavor native library not found in path. Copying native library libjblas_arch_flavor from the archive. Consider installing the library somewhere in the path (for Windows: PATH, for Linux: LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
    -- org.jblas CONFIG Loading libjblas_arch_flavor.so from /lib/static/Linux/amd64/, copying to libjblas_arch_flavor.so.
    -- org.jblas ERROR Couldn't load copied link file: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /tmp/jblas5239787082843388211/libjblas_arch_flavor.so: libgfortran.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

    On Linux 64bit, you need additional support libraries.
    You need to install libgfortran3.

    For example for debian or Ubuntu, type "sudo apt-get install libgfortran3"

    For more information, see 
    https://github.com/mikiobraun/jblas/wiki/Missing-Libraries

    -- org.jblas INFO Deleting /tmp/jblas5239787082843388211

In short, it means that libgfortran.so.3 cannot be found.

5. Install gcc-6. (yaourt -S gcc6) You will need the libgfortran.so.3 included in this

6. Link with sudo ln -s /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/6.XX/libgfortran.so.3 /usr/lib/ (6.XX is the version name) / Paste it under usr / lib (write it with an absolute path)

7. Try java -server -jar jblas-1.2.4.jar again and it works fine

    java -server -jar jblas-1.2.4.jar
    -- org.jblas INFO jblas version is 1.2.4

    Sanity checks passed.

    Each benchmark will take about 5 seconds...

    Running benchmark "native matrix multiplication, single precision".
    n = 10   :  1.281 GFLOPS (3203374 iterations in 5.0 seconds)
    n = 100  : 11.192 GFLOPS (27980 iterations in 5.0 seconds)
    n = 1000 : 18.981 GFLOPS (48 iterations in 5.1 seconds)

Now you can use jblas.

Example using jblas (Clojure)

-clatrix Library -incanter Library etc. Matrix operations will be faster, and statistical processing, machine learning, etc. will be possible at higher speeds! Although neandertharl can calculate faster, it is a great advantage to be able to use Incanter, which has functions similar to R. I will.

Advertising? : Clojure for Data Science is good!

I want to start machine learning, but I don't want to start from a place I don't understand! This is a book for people who say. You can learn a wide range from deriving the average to classification and regression. Also, the source code can be found at here, so if you want to see what you can do for the time being, you may want to touch it here.
