11 sage itself would probably be fine with reference I think. However linbox
12 and historically ghmm (now gone) need clapack which is provided by
13 lapack-atlas. Actually _you can_ build lapack-atlas using blas-reference
14 not very efficient but doable.
15 For the rest I need to check if linbox is linked in sage - if it is then you
16 run the risk of linking with multiple versions of lapack. Which actually given
17 how sage is built may not be such a big problem.
