No offense, but if a "compchem sysadmin expert" has problems with BLAS/LAPACK and has done it before, they're not really an expert. BLAS/LAPACK (or ATLAS) are easy to install on every Linux workstation or server I have ever used. Indeed, on most compchem Linux machines, it's already installed. http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/atlas_install/ BLAS/LAPACK is pre-installed on every Mac. Which leaves Windows. But most Windows users want pre-packaged binaries, so it's also not a big problem.
