@Eggp: Thanks for your comment. I am happy this post is useful to somebody.

Eigen looks good indeed from its tutorial. I think the ease of use is very similar to armadillo. Maybe I'll look more into it.

I saw in your post a pointer to a comparison of different C++ libraries (PDF), which I found especially useful for reference.

When I tried it, I thought IT++ had a little steeper learning curve than armadillo, but it was also quite good to use and very easy to install (at least in ubuntu, where it comes as a package).

Using Lapack directly I think doesn't make much sense. There are so many great wrappers out there, which are easy to install. I didn't look it up for Eigen, but for example, IT++ and Armadillo provide integration with Lapack and ATLAS and that's where they derive their speed from.

Hi, Very happy to read your article and thank you ...

Hi,
Very happy to read your article and thank you for many interesting references. I'm also doing my research heavily relied on the speed of numerical libraries. I also wrote an article of an on-line survey of these libraries. (Please see this) "Eigen" may also be an interesting one for your purpose and it is also under active development. "Easy to install" is also one of my concern since the users may not be as geeky as the code writer and they may easily give up evaluating my code just because the installation is not as smooth as they expect. So IT++ is ruled out by this criterion for its many dependencies. Finally I go back to use Lapack directly for its ubiquitous acceptance and its ease to avoid license problems (another important issue) although the interface really stinks.
