In order to use an external BLAS and/or LAPACK library, you must link you own application to the respective libraries and their dependencies.
For LAPACK, you must also link to the standard <a href="http://www.netlib.org/lapack/lapacke.html">Lapacke</a> library, which is used as a convenient think layer between %Eigen's C++ code and LAPACK F77 interface. Then you must activate their usage by defining one or multiple of the following macros (\b before including any %Eigen's header):
\note For Mac users, in order to use the lapack version shipped with the Accelerate framework, you also need the lapacke library.
Using <a href="https://www.macports.org/">MacPorts</a>, this is as easy as:
\code
sudo port install lapack
\endcode
and then use the following link flags: \c -framework \c Accelerate \c /opt/local/lib/lapack/liblapacke.dylib
