Comment(by drkirkby):

 Replying to [comment:3 mpatel]:

 > In particular, `liblapack.so` and `libf77blas.so` aren't made.  Is this
 relevant here?  Running `ln -s libgfortran.so.2 libgfortran.so` in
 `SAGE_LOCAL/lib` and reinstalling ATLAS appears to help (cf.
 [comment:ticket:9356:5 comment 5] and [comment:ticket:9356:7 comment 7] at
 #9356).

 I think it proves we don't need the shared libraries myself. Note they are
 not built on OS X at all - see the badly name file
 {{{make_correct_shared.sh}}}

 But more to the point, it's unwise to test for them before permitting the
 code associated with  {{{SAGE_ATLAS_LIB}}} to work. At the minute, that
 code tests for the 4 shared libraries on Linux, and 3 on Solaris. That
 seems to be rather flawed given only two are reliably built on Linux. Sure
 we might be able to get them to build, but that's far from obvious how to
 do that best. Just ignoring them seems simpler to me.
