great. Do we need to submit a bug report, or is someone going to do this?

By the way, if it is found that different library lists are needed for 
different systems, it would be nice to have a small selection of list of 
commented out options:


if BUILTIN_BLAS_LAPACK:
    sourcelist = [
        os.path.join('Packages/LinearAlgebra2/Src', 'lapack_litemodule.c'),
        os.path.join('Packages/LinearAlgebra2/Src', 'blas_lite.c'),
        os.path.join('Packages/LinearAlgebra2/Src', 'f2c_lite.c'),
        os.path.join('Packages/LinearAlgebra2/Src', 'zlapack_lite.c'),
        os.path.join('Packages/LinearAlgebra2/Src', 'dlapack_lite.c')
        ]
    lapack_libs = []
else:
    sourcelist = [
        os.path.join('Packages/LinearAlgebra2/Src', 'lapack_litemodule.c'),
        ]

    # Set to list off libraries to link against.
    # (only the basenames, e.g. 'lapack')
    ## for atlas on linux:
    lapack_libs = ['lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas', 'm']
    ## for absoft on linux:
    #lapack_libs = ['lapack', 'f77blas', 'cblas', 'atlas', 
'm','someotherlib']
    ## for whatever on whatever:
    #lapack_libs = ['a','different','list']


Also:
Shouldn't this be inside the "if" above ?

# Set to list directories to be searched for BLAS and LAPACK libraries
# For absoft on Linux
##lapack_dirs = ['/usr/local/lib/atlas', '/opt/absoft/lib']
# For atlas on Gentoo Linux
lapack_dirs = []

Though I suppose it doesn't hurt to search non-exisitant directories.


By the way. I set the USE_LAPACK environment variable. Is there a way to 
pass it in as an option to setup.py instead? That seems a better way of 
keeping with the spirit of distutils.
