<p class="x_MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif; color:black">I just completed updating our blas/lapack configuration on all RHEL 9 systems. RedHat ships broken blas64 and lapack64 RPMs that ultimately break several tools
needed for operations (elegant, ArcSteer, etc.). Removing those RPMs and the blas-devel and lapack-devel RPMs, which provide the related header files, fixes the library configuration so our operations tools will work.</span></p>

if you think you're running into a problem introduced by this change.</span></p>
