[Pw_forum] How to convince QE from local lapack/blas?

Heureka!

After several days of compiling and complaining I've found a possible 
solution!
In contrast to all warning regarding the loading of essl before lapack, 
it mustn't be loaded before lapack!
When I add lessl before lapack, I get the DSYGV : 2538-2015 error messages.
The following make.sys finally works regarding these problems on my 
system (IBM 575):

------------------------------------------
# make.sys.  Generated from make.sys.in by configure.

# compilation rules

.SUFFIXES :
.SUFFIXES : .o .c .f .f90

# most fortran compilers can directly preprocess c-like directives: use
# 	$(MPIF90) $(F90FLAGS) -c $<
# if explicit preprocessing by the C preprocessor is needed, use:
# 	$(CPP) $(CPPFLAGS) $< -o $*.F90
#	$(MPIF90) $(F90FLAGS) -c $*.F90 -o $*.o
# remember the tabulator in the first column !!!

.f90.o:
	$(MPIF90) $(F90FLAGS) -c $<

# .f.o and .c.o: do not modify

.f.o:
	$(F77) $(FFLAGS) -c $<

.c.o:
	$(CC) $(CFLAGS)  -c $<


# DFLAGS  = precompilation options (possible arguments to -D and -U)
#           used by the C compiler and preprocessor
# FDFLAGS = as DFLAGS, for the f90 compiler
# See include/defs.h.README for a list of options and their meaning
# With the exception of IBM xlf, FDFLAGS = $(DFLAGS)
# For IBM xlf, FDFLAGS is the same as DFLAGS with separating commas

DFLAGS         = -D__XLF -D__LINUX_ESSL -D__MASS -D__MPI -D__PARA
FDFLAGS        = -D__XLF,-D__LINUX_ESSL,-D__MASS,-D__MPI,-D__PARA

# compiler that produces executables for parallel execution using MPI

# otherwise, an ordinary fortran-90 compiler (f90, g95, xlf90, ifort,...)
# If you have a parallel machine but no suitable candidate for MPIF90,

Thank you nevertheless for your efforts, Michael and Paolo!
