*
*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SPPTRI computes the inverse of a real symmetric positive definite
*  matrix A using the Cholesky factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T
*  computed by SPPTRF.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  UPLO    (input) CHARACTER*1
*          = 'U':  Upper triangular factor is stored in AP;
*          = 'L':  Lower triangular factor is stored in AP.
*
*  N       (input) INTEGER
*          The order of the matrix A.  N >= 0.
*
*  AP      (input/output) REAL array, dimension (N*(N+1)/2)
*          On entry, the triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky
*          factorization A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, packed columnwise as
*          a linear array.  The j-th column of U or L is stored in the
*          array AP as follows:
*          if UPLO = 'U', AP(i + (j-1)*j/2) = U(i,j) for 1<=i<=j;
*          if UPLO = 'L', AP(i + (j-1)*(2n-j)/2) = L(i,j) for j<=i<=n.
*
*          On exit, the upper or lower triangle of the (symmetric)
*          inverse of A, overwriting the input factor U or L.
*
*  INFO    (output) INTEGER
*          = 0:  successful exit
*          < 0:  if INFO = -i, the i-th argument had an illegal value
*          > 0:  if INFO = i, the (i,i) element of the factor U or L is
*                zero, and the inverse could not be computed.
