Works fine here (Ubuntu 11.04, R 2.13.0 from CRAN):
edd@max:~$ cat /tmp/matias.r
p <- 500
n <- 300
set.seed(1234)
x <- matrix(rnorm(n*p), n, p)
sih <- var(x)
b <- svd(sih)
cat("All good\n")
edd@max:~$ r /tmp/matias.r
All good
edd@max:~$
Maybe you have the wrong atlas package installed? What does this yield for
you:
edd@max:~$ dpkg -l | grep "atlas\|blas"
ii gotoblas2-helper 0.1-12.local.1 GotoBLAS2
helper
ii libatlas-headers 3.6.0-24ubuntu1
Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software,C header files
ii libatlas3gf-base 3.8.3-29
Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software, generic shared
ii libblas-dev 1.2-8 Basic
Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, static library
ii libblas-test 1.2-8 Basic
Linear Algebra Subroutines 3, testing programs
ii libblas3gf 1.2-8 Basic
Linear Algebra Reference implementations, shared library
edd@max:~$
showing that I use the standard Atlas package from Ubuntu.
