Package: atlas3 Severity: normal Version: 3.6.0-19 When I try to build atlas3 with the default gcc set to gcc-4.0, I get:
... ATLAS has detected that you are running on an x86 architecture (eg., Athlon, P4, PIII, etc), but do not have a pre-2.96 gcc installed. Using gcc 3/2.96 will result in a performance loss of 10-20% IN THE BEST CASE over a gcc previous to 2.96. If your install goes slightly wrong, performance drops of 50% are more normal with these compilers. Full details of this problem can be found at: http://www.cs.utk.edu/~rwhaley/ATLAS/gcc30.html In the meantime, we suggest you abondon this ATLAS install, and install a gcc that delivers decent x86 performance, and restart the install then. You do not need to be root to install, and full instructions, along with all needed files, are given in the ATLAS errata file at: http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/errata.html#UnixGccInst Stop ATLAS install?

(file "debian/config.expect" line 6) make: *** [bin/Linux_base_static/Make.inc] Error 1 It seems config.c doesn't know about gcc 4.0; changing line 697 of config.c to accept the case (major >= 4) as well, the package then compiles fine until it runs into compiler errors in uumtst.c.
