Hot to fix LAPACK/BLAS loading error?

We've recently updated the matlab in our lab's computers to the 2015a version. But now the following errors are happening whenever some basic functions are used:

BLAS loading error: mkl.dll:Could not find the specified module

and

LAPACK loading error: mkl.dll:Could not find the specified module

How can we fix this issue? Thanks.

Hi Rúben, that has been a while but I still remember what I did. I had noticed that matlab 2015 we installed was really lacking this library. But I also had the 2013, which was working properly and had the mkl.dll. So I simply copied the dll in the 2015 lib folder and it worked. Hope it helps you!

I also encountered the same problem, my solution is two:

1. First solution-Add two environment variables, the 1st variable's NAME is BLAS_VERSION and VALUE is mkl.dll, the 2nd variable NAME LAPACK_VERSION and VALUE is MKL.dll.

2. Second solution-Enter two lines of code in the MATLAB Command Window, the 1st: setenv('BLAS_VERSION', 'mkl.dll'), and the 2nd: setenv('LAPACK_VERSION', 'mkl.dll').

Then, In the MATLAB Command Window, you can test the code below:

1. version -blas;

2. version -lapack

I do not know why that has happened to you, but the following might help:
