In many cases, this can be fixed by configuring the software to use the blas and/or lapack ports rather than atlas. Performance will not be as good, but at least we could generate packages so people could try the tools out quickly. Some programs like octave are hard coded to use ATLAS, others support both, but may have ATLAS as a default. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
