I just dumped Vista off a laptop and installed Ubuntu 10.10 (latest
release) as the single operating system. I did all of the updates and
then installed emacs and ess. Next I installed R by following the the
usual instructions on the CRAN site. At this point all is working I am
now in the process of installing the packages that I normally have
installed. I am having a problem with the LAPACK libraries when
installing lme4, but the problem is not unique to lme4. It is either a
link to or missing LAPACK libs. I am at a loss as what I am doing wrong
since I have started with a completely clean machine and am not trying
to anything special.
-------HERE is the R startup:

-------HERE is the final output from trying to install lme4:

-------- so these are there and linked OK and there is no Rlapack.so The
links look OK.
Should I be linking to static libs and if so they do not seem to on my
machine anywhere. ( a "find . -name "*f77blas*" (or on atlas) turned up
so's only)
I am at a loss as to where to go from here.
Thank you all for your consideration.
