Subject: Improve error message when no LAPACK is available.
X-Git-Tag: v8.3.0-rc1~473^2
X-Git-Url: https://gitweb.dealii.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=17fb744b9ca543369b23846a6815ba383130382c;p=dealii.git

Improve error message when no LAPACK is available.

The old error message was written when we had ./configure checks for
individual LAPACK functions, but this is no longer the case: we get
all of LAPACK, or nothing. Reflect this in the text of the error
message.
