+
+A C implementation of Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (cBLAS) is
+required. GSL comes with a reference implementation, but you should
+consider getting a hardware optimized implementation. ATLAS provides
+optimized BLAS (see below).

+== ATLAS ==
+
+GSL supplies a reference implementation of BLAS. You may want to
+consider using hardware optimized BLAS. The ATLAS
+(http://math-atlas.sourceforge.net/) software provides an automatic
+hardware optimized BLAS library.
+
+The detection of ATLAS is supported by the yat configuration script
+but in many cases the ATLAS libraries are installed in
+non-conventional directory locations. On Fedora 8, ATLAS libraries are
+located in /usr/lib/atlas or /usr/lib64/atlas depending on your
+hardware architecture. If you have ATLAS installed and the configure
+script fails to locate it, try to add the location to the atlas
+libraries when running confiure:
+
+  #> LDFLAGS="/usr/lib64/atlas" ./configure
