The scipy and numeric docs don't know anything about the upcoming new Gentoo |
7 |
scheme, where liblapack can be a front for libatlas or any other library that |
8 |
implements lapack. |

That's actually the beauty of the new system: even if you have a program which |
11 |
in its configure scripts does not know anything about alternate lapack |
12 |
implementations, its still possible to use it with ATLAS. |

But if you're building SciPy on a non-Gentoo system (or on the the current |
15 |
Gentoo, i.e. before the switch), then it's obviously necessary to include the |
16 |
correct atlas info. |
