Hello Andrey,

apparently you're using numeric_bindings-v1. We've made some 
significant improvements to the bindings, they reside in 
sandbox/numeric_bindings.

I once tested the speed difference between ATLAS' cblas and ATLAS' 
fortran interfaces; there is none. So why go through all the trouble, 
and use MKL's cblas interface? Why not just link against the fortran libs?

Cheers,

Rutger
