Lapack won't install with cygwin?

[Bananskrue <bananskrue at hotmail dot com>]

I'm currently needing to run a program on cygwin with a school-related
project. The program is called MPB, and a very easy tutorial on how to "set
it up" is given. It basically just says to install "these and these"
programs when getting cygwin.

I did this and I'm getting tons of error message. Specifically, when I try
to install my program in cygwin, it can't find lapack and BLAS. I've tried
to install it manually but to no avail, and a quick search query tells me
that "If I select this application when installing cygwin, it should install
them automatically".

Well that's just great, only problem is it doesn't. Apparently I'm supposed
to have an liblapack.a and a libblas.a file in my /lib folder, but I don't.

I do however have a folder called lapack that includes two .dll files.

One cygblas-0.dll and a cyglapack-0.dll, but I don't see what I'm supposed
to do with these.

Does anyone have any knowledge about this? I really need to get this program
running. I did manage to install BLAS manually and put the libblas.a file in
the /lib folder and that removed one error message, but I'm still getting
error messages about the missing liblapack.a file, and I cannot for the
death of me figure out how to install it!

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
