Yeah, we've seen this sort of thing historically with ATLAS when a new
CPU comes out. Unfortunately, we've lost email contact with the person
who is our nominal maintainer for the package, so an official update is
going to be delayed. There are a couple of options:
1) Maybe try a different Octave variant for the time being? The bare
"octave" package has BLAS/LAPACK support from the built-in
Accelerate.framework, and supposedly BLAS/LAPACK do work correctly on
10.9. Alternately, the octave-ref variant uses an unoptimized
BLAS/LAPACK, which ought not to care about your CPU.
2) Try a newer version of ATLAS locally. At minimum, this would
involve editing /sw/fink/10.9/stable/main/finkinfo/sci/atlas.info and
changing "3.10.1" in the Version and elsewhere to a newer version, such
as 3.11.26 -- the newest unstable version from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/math-atlas/files/Developer%20%28unstable%29/
. You would also need to change the Source-MD5 to correspond to the
checksum for the source archive you're working with. I might also
suggest changing the Source2 to point to lapack-3.5.0.tgz and to update
the Source2-MD5, and also update other instances of "3.4.2".
