You have to include the bindings for your matrix (probably
"ublas/matrix_proxy.hpp" in your case). I suggest

#include <boost/numeric/bindings/ublas.hpp>

then you don't need to bother with any special headers.

no problem...

when you use the "ilp64" memory model, you have to define

BIND_FORTRAN_INTEGER_8

(see bindings/detail/config/fortran.hpp)

Yes.

The name "clapack" has a slightly overloaded meaning... I guess they just
mean the f2c version of LAPACK, because the official c-bindings had a
different name (lapacke, if I remember correctly), and I guess Intel doesn't
refer to ATLAS. However, the name clapack for the bindings refers to ATLAS.

That was Rutger...

Just don't define "BOOST_NUMERIC_BINDINGS_LAPACK_CLAPACK"...
