The version of libatlas avail. on Debian and/or Fedora are much more up to date (as in more than a year if not two) than those i see on the Ubuntu reps.
- Why that is?
- Is it possible (advised?) to bypass the Ubuntu reps and use the packages from the Debian reps (and run unto dependency hell)? Or is there a fundamental reasons why libatlas is stuck at 3.6.X in Ubuntu?
libatlas in Ubuntu 10.10 is at upstream version 3.8.3, the same as in Debian and Fedora. See:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/libatlas-base-dev
Your best bet is to upgrade to 10.10 (which will be released in two days at the time of this post). Backporting lib packages from Debian or Ubuntu development releases can be a tricky proposition as you would likely have to rebuild any of libatlas' reverse dependencies against the new version as well.
