OpenBLAS is an optimized BLAS library based on GotoBLAS2 1.13 BSD version. Added symbolic link to install a generic blas library that can be used by Octave and R. OpenBLAS has cpu specific targetted assembly code for speed optimisation. If running in a vm with QEMU cpu you need to specify a variable TARGET=cpuname to the script where cpuname is one from the list in the sourcecode file TargetList.txt examples are TARGET=NEHALEM for an Intel i7 or TARGET=ATHLON for AMD Athlon
