Simply run

$ nix-shell
$ gfortran main.f90 -lblas && ./a.out

You should see a segfault:

$ gfortran main.f90 -lblas && ./a.out
f951: Warning: command line option ‘-Wformat=1’ is valid for C/C++/ObjC/ObjC++ but not for Fortran
f951: Warning: command line option ‘-Wformat-security’ is valid for C/C++/ObjC/ObjC++ but not for Fortran
f951: Warning: ‘-Werror=’ argument ‘-Werror=format-security’ is not valid for Fortran
a = 5.0
X = [ 5.0 6.0 7.0 ]

Program received signal SIGSEGV: Segmentation fault - invalid memory reference.

However, you can check out OpenBLAS in a different directory and build it:

$ cd /tmp
$ git clone [email protected]:xianyi/OpenBLAS.git
$ nix-shell '<nixpkgs>' -A openblas
$ make

Now you can run the program we built earlier with the self-built OpenBLAS and it should mysteriously just work.

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/OpenBlas:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ./a.out
a = 5.0
X = [ 5.0 6.0 7.0 ]

X = a * X
X = [ 25.0 30.0 35.0 ]
