Since you say you are a programming newbie, I guess that you installed lapack/atlas etc. with the normal package manager so that they worked just right out of the box.

I guess you installed lapack/atlas etc. by some method that appeared reasonable to you, and now expect that we exactly know what you have done. I can only guess that you installed them via cygwin, and now expect them to work out of the box with both VC9 and g++. Is this assumption correct?

What do you mean by msg#00014? Can you provide a link instead?

On windows, you normally have to compile with -DBIND_FORTRAN_LOWERCASE_UNDERSCORE, but you say that you already tried that.
