Yes of course.

As I said video is not a high priority, I just noticed some of the
configures
picked up blas/lapack/atlas. opencv was one I remember because it couldn't
find
a clapack include. Atlas only builds some of the lapack routines and I
mentally
flagged this as an issue to go back to. here is an extract from cmake:

-- Could not find OpenBLAS lib. Turning OpenBLAS_FOUND off
-- Could NOT find Atlas (missing: Atlas_CLAPACK_INCLUDE_DIR)
-- Looking for dgemm_
-- Looking for dgemm_ - found
[...]
-- A library with BLAS API found.
-- Looking for cheev_
-- Looking for cheev_ - found
-- A library with LAPACK API found.

I haven't looked at OpenBLAS. dgemm is a BLAS routine and cheev comes from
lapack. Of course I don't know if these were picked from my atlas
installation.

I was planning on octave after atlas before any graphics, but then
remembered
that I really do need to view graphical and simulation output sometimes.
Hence I
rushed a bit to settle those dependencies. Unfortunately I can't offer to do
everything again in a hurry as uni starts next week and then I will only
occasionally have time to blow my nose.
